I don’t know if your problem is the same as mine was, but the symptom sounds the same.

The docker-compose.yaml file shown in the Forgejo documentation for docker installation shows this mount:

    volumes:
      - ./forgejo:/data

For me, Forgejo installed and created new resource files in /data and ignored the resource files gitea alread made.

I changed the volume to:

    volumes:
      - data:/var/lib/gitea

Forgejo then recognized the gitea resources.

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.

Can you see the data you copied inside the container?

That led me to my problem! I did have the volume mounted, but the container’s path was incorrect: Forgejo was recreating it’s resource files as a new install because where it was looking for them, they didn’t exist.

Thanks!

Both gitea and forgejo are using sqlite3. Gitea 1.20.0, Forgejo 1.21.

Can you share some of them so I might have an idea what to try to do differently?

Unfortunately that didn’t work for me.

That is what I did. And it didn’t work.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

You’re sharing your thoughts about the real life club online.

I currently use Photo structure, which is good, but its not open source and the one guy behind it, Matthew, is quite slow with progress. He’s super friendly and helpful, and bug fixes are pretty quick. But feature additions are glacial.

I was considering switching to photoprism but was turned off by the attitude of some of the developers. The product looks prery good, though.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to switch to Immich, which is also really good.

A friend uses Piwigo which is decent and has good features, though I find it’s very ugly regardless which skin you use.

I currently only use proxmox for VMs. Proxmox hosts a TrueNAS VM, TrueNAS controls all but the main (small) drive on the box, proxmox then has access to the other drives through TrueNAS. Kind of neat.

But I think it would indeed be simpler to only have TrueNAS and use it for both nas and VMs. I have no experience with TrueNAS’ VMs.

I recently installed Proxmox and TrueNAS on the same box in kind of an ouroboros styles, following this guide: https://github.com/enigmacurry/d.rymcg.tech

So now I have both. I run VMs in proxmox and use truenas only for nas.

I haven’t done any research yet. Gitea includes an oauth2 provider. Does Forgejo also provide oauth2 authentication with a similar feature set?

I recently installed TrueNAS in Proxmox in this interesting Ouroboros-like configuration. So far it’s been great.

I installed it behind traefik (proxy) via d.rymcg.tech and it’s been working fine.

What about an approach where there’s a website to facilitate people donating to FOSS project, and all that website needs is a list of possible recipients of the FOSS project (e.g., app developers, libraries it uses). When I want to donate I go to this website and say “I want to donate to Lemmy”, and it shows me “Lemmy has these possible recipients: X, Y, …”. When I say “I want to donate $10” the website asks “should we distribute this evenly among all Lemmy recipients?” (which might be the default) or I have the option of unchecking some recipients or or assigning some recipients a higher percentage of my donation.

I finally got around to this and jailbreaking the iPad was as easy as you suggested. Thanks, @Aatube@kbin.social!

But I don’t see how to install a newer browser. Cydia and Zebra seem to be able to install themes and tweaks. How would I get them to install Firefox or Chrome? Also, how would I install linux on the ipad?

I recently installed TrueNAS on a box with Proxmox, following these instructions. It allows the box to be your NAS and run anything else as a VM (so NextCloud, Grocy/KitchenOwl, etc., even your VPN).

Photostructure is a strong starter, but development is slow and it’s still missing important features like sharing. Also, it’s not ooen source.

Immich seems great but doesn’t (yet) support digikam tags ( and since my 100,000 assets are tagged/organized via digikam, I don’t want to move to immich yet and have to start over).

PhotoPrism seemed pretty good, though it also doesn’t (yet) support digikam tags. Also, their self-hosted version doesn’t have all the features of their paid versions.
