This guide describes how to go from Gitea to Forgejo if Gitea is installed via a package manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Arch Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arch Linux provides package for both Gitea and Forgejo,
|
||
|
|
but they install to different locations and run as different users.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, a small amount of work is needed to transition from one to the other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First step is to install the Forgejo package, and stop the Gitea service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ pacman -S forgejo
|
||
|
|
$ systemctl stop gitea
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Configuration migration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, we can copy the Gitea configuration over the default Forgejo one.
|
||
|
|
We need to set the group owner and group write permission so Forgejo can write to it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cp /etc/gitea/app.ini /etc/forgejo/app.ini
|
||
|
|
$ chown root:forgejo /etc/forgejo/app.ini
|
||
|
|
$ chmod g+w /etc/forgejo/app.ini
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Data migration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If we want to leave a copy of the Gitea data untouched (recommend in case of mistakes)
|
||
|
|
the next step is to copy the existing data to the Forgejo user's home directory.
|
||
|
|
We need to change the ownership of the files to the `forgejo` user and group too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cp -r /var/lib/gitea/* /var/lib/forgejo
|
||
|
|
$ chown -R forgejo: /var/lib/forgejo/*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, we need to update the configuration, which currently points to `/var/lib/gitea`,
|
||
|
|
to point to the new location.
|
||
|
|
Edit `/etc/forgejo/app.ini` and replace all instances of `/var/lib/gitea` with `/var/lib/forgejo`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Data migration (no copy)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're not concerned about being able to roll back to your Gitea installation,
|
||
|
|
you can simply change the owner of the files in `/var/lib/gitea`.
|
||
|
|
There's then no need to change the configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ chown -R forgejo: /var/lib/gitea/*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Starting Forgejo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Whichever data migration you've chosen, it's now time to start the Forgejo service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ systemctl start forgejo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check to see that the service has started with no issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ systemctl status forgejo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...and set the service to start automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sytemctl enable forgejo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, if you're happy with everything, you can uninstall Gitea.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ pacman -R gitea
|
