Hi. I self-host gitea in docker and have a few repos, users, keys, etc. I installed forgejo in docker and it runs, so I stopped the container and copied /var/lib/docker/volumes/gitea_data/_data/* to /var/lib/docker/volumes/forgejo_data/_data/, but when I restart the forgejo container, forgejo doesn’t show any of my repos, users, keys, etc.
My understanding was the the current version of forgejo is a drop-in replacement for gitea, so I was hoping all gitea resources were saved to its docker volume and would thus be instantly usable by forgejo. Guess not. :(
Does anyone have any experience migrating their gitea instance to forgejo?
Thanks for that info. I did combine an upgrade (1.20 to 1.21) with the migrations, but I guess I lucked into it working. My problem was that the container’s path to the migrated gitea volume was incorrect.
