First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

Just so you're aware, Gitea was taken over by a for-profit company. Which is why it was forked and Forgejo was formed. If you don't use Github as a matter of principle, then you should switch to Forgejo instead.

Oh man, thanks for this. I had no idea, having used gitea for years now.

did they get federation working?

Nothing usable yet unfortunately, but they seem to be making good progress: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

Thanks for the link! As long as it's being worked on I feel comfortable spinning up an instance. I've been meaning to do gitea for a while so I'm glad I waited.

Thanks for the info

Damnit of course it was. Thanks for letting me know, now I'll have to redo my 100+ repos.

If there’s a fork, it’ll probably be an easy migration/in-place upgrade.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Changing the remote should be fairly trivial with enough bash skills

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's more I don't have them all checked out, and a good chunk are mirrors of github, so I'll have to list out each one and push to a new remote, mirrors will have to be setup again, and I also use the container and package registries. I'm pretty embedded. It's not impossible, but it's a weekend project for sure.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If it was just forked, cant you just switch the package/container-image and be done?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Depends on how much it was changed I'm guessing. Fingers crossed I could just flip it over, but who knows

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Simply changing the binary worked for me. Been more than 1 month and no migration issues.

It does still show gitea branding, however.
