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?
Why this backwards way of migrating? The recommended way to to replace the Gitea docker image with the Forgejo one and leave everything else in place. Maybe make a backup before that you can revert to in case something goes wrong though.
