I’ve got forgejo configured and running as a custom docker app, but I’ve noticed there’s a community app available now. I like using the community apps when available since I can keep them updated more easily than having to check/update image tags.

Making the switch would mean migrating from sqlite to postgres, plus some amount of file restructuring. It’ll also tie my setup to truenas, which is a platform I like, but after being bit by truecharts I’m nervous about getting too attached to any platform.

Has anyone made a similar migration and can give suggestions? All I know about the postgres config is where the data is stored, so I’m not even sure how I’d connect to import anything. Is there a better way to get notified about/apply container images for custom apps instead?

    I have all my apps running in Docker under Jailmaker and I don’t intend on moving to TrueNAS apps unless I am forced to. Currently I could move this entire setup to any machine I want, set up my jail mount points, launch up Dockge and I’d be up and running (with the same static IP at that!). If I moved to TrueNAS apps I think the transition and handling of mount points would probably be painful. If they remove jailmaker support in 25.xx like I’ve heard I’ll look into Incus or other solutions before using their apps.
