Assistance migrating from gitea to forgejo

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,...

Oisteink ,

Can you see the data you copied inside the container?
I’m quite sure you either don’t have the volume mounted, or the config files refers to a different folder than the gitea one did. Did your gitea container store data in sqlite as you are copying raw files rather than migrating a database?

I’d go with lxc instead of containers if you don’t fully understand docker. Overhead isn’t much different and you get a “normal server” where you can drop in forgejo to replace gitea

NVMe device names follow this pattern: nvme <number> n <namespace> , where: <number> is an integer that is assigned by Linux during the boot process. The first NVMe device that is detected is assigned 0

Docker can be many things - and portainer is a nice replacement for those using docker for running services. It’s got a great web interface. For automation and most development docker and compose is my pick. Also a good fit for those that only use X to spawn terminals.
