Personally I am conflicted. On one side gitea switching to a for-profit is worrying, even if they didnt do anything wrong yet. I like codeberg (non-profit behind Forgejo), but I also want to support devs actually working on the product. So I think for now I’ll stay with gitea, but I won’t hesitate to migrate to Forgejo if they start to act stupid
I switched to Fogejo just by swapping out the image. So far gitea hasn’t been malicious with its trademarks now being owned by a private company, but I feel better using software that is more closely tied to a nonprofit. I see no reason to switch back.
I do not think there is a consensus.
Personally, I am not moving anytime soon. IMO so far gitea has not done anything wrong yet (they just put them in a position where is easier for them to do it, eventually). It is still a good thing forgejo exists… but I can’t stand the name, heh (also, I like the green theme of gitea :P).
Probably switching container from gitea to forgejo will just work… I recently switched my deployment, “issues” I had with postgres, but it was related to updates on helm-chart part (gitea upgraded postgres as well, so either update or switch made me same work to do).

Is the consensus to migrate to Forgejo or stay with Gitea? I’m running Gitea using docked and wondering how to migrate my setup to Forgejo, if needed.

It did not “switch to a for-profit”. The company structure only exists to provide a way to hire gitea developers for paid work. The project owners are still elected by contributors: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#technical-oversight-committee-toc
For now. But n the long run the focus will shift to profit. That’s a totally normal thing.
