Forgejo is looking for input from #Forgejo administrators.
We are considering dropping support for using Microsoft SQL Server as a database that can be used with Forgejo. We would love to hear your input, especially those using it (if there are any 👀), on this matter. See our rationale and current discussion at https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/122, we're looking forward to your input on this matter.
Forgejo started as a soft fork of Gitea. Over time, it developed its own identity, adopted both development and governance practices - to ensure the stability, quality, and openness of the project - that made it more challenging to remain a soft fork. In early 2024, a decision was made to become a hard fork, and for Forgejo to forge its own path going forward. This post explains the consequences this decision will have.

@forgejo I switched immediately after learning that gitea is not a 100% non-profit. And now I hope that I will never have to switch back. All the best!
@forgejo I like some of the features and roadmap of Forgejo, and I really would've liked to have introduced #Forgejo instead of #Gitea at work. However, there we are limited to a Windows environment and I don't have the time and experience to build it from scratch, so we're stuck with Gitea. 😔 (My main work is in hydrogeology and GIS, not application development.) But I'll keep an eye on Forgejo and maybe one day get lucky. 😉
Forgejo v1.21 is available and comes with significant improvements to Forgejo Actions and the Forgejo runner. It also brings better user blocking, many documentation improvements, a shortcut button to open new PRs, mail notifications when new users are created and more. ✨
@forgejo We're not planning to use Microsoft SQL Server for Codey.
@forgejo@floss.social I don't use MS SQL on my Forgejo instance, and I'm not planning to
@forgejo
Sure.
