Keep in mind if you’ve pinned your docker-compose.yml as they suggest in the installation guide, you’ll want to increment that.

More features that are preparing for full federation support! Exciting!

Can’t wait!

What are some benefits of a vcs being federated?

tad_lispy@europe.pub on 19 Oct 15:30 collapse

I imagine ability to fork, comment, open an issue or a merge (pull) request, do a code review etc from an account on one instance to a project on another. That would enable true decentralisation of software development. It was one of the original promises of Git, but was lost with the emergence of GitHub. With such federated network of forges each developer, or a group working on a project, could run their own server and collaborate with anyone else, without registering accounts on hundreds of services. I’d love that.

Ist a federated git?

Not yet, but that’s coming https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

Update June 2024: this issue is no longer updated. Progress on federation can be followed from:

Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?

notarobot@lemmy.zip on 16 Oct 21:56 next collapse

By the way you framed you question sounds like you are looking for an excuse to move away from gitea

sga@piefed.social on 17 Oct 20:32 collapse

not really. it is more of, “i am not really motivated enough right now, can you please motivate me a bit?”

clb92@feddit.dk on 17 Oct 21:43 collapse

I meant it more like “I’m concerned if I’m missing out on something huge by still using Gitea.”

But if they’re still mostly the same, I’ll just stick with what I’ve already set up.

sga@piefed.social on 17 Oct 23:26 collapse

as others have said, major thing is federation, which is rolling out. other than that, the are mostly complete.

Not being run by corporate overlords

Seriously though, the community is a lot healthier

The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

I know, but I thought it was already too late to simply change the docker image and be done with it. But, you are saying it’s still just a drop-in replacement currently?

poVoq@slrpnk.net on 17 Oct 22:12 next collapse

Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.

robber@lemmy.ml on 17 Oct 22:48 collapse

Depends on the version you’re running.

clb92@feddit.dk on 17 Oct 22:58 collapse

I’m out of luck, it seems, since I’m already running Gitea 1.24.6.

JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev on 17 Oct 21:44 collapse

Actions is significantly better, there are lots of subtle UI improvements, there are new importers, etc. Not a killer feature, but many small improvements that add up.

Thanks!

It’s like, there if you want it, but you totally don’t have to download. No pressure at all!

I’m assuming an upgrade is pretty painless. I guess know what I’m doing at work on Monday.

golli@sopuli.xyz on 17 Oct 21:58 collapse

Since I just saw this in the self-host weekly post:

Do not upgrade to 13.0.0

Seems like there is a bug and one should use 13.0.1

Good to know, thanks for the PSA.
