*Upgrading from Gitea*
This stable release offers an upgrade and a transition path from Gitea to Forgejo. If you’re on v1.17.x or older please read the release notes carefully, and in particular check out the breaking changes section of Gitea’s blog post.
The actual upgrade process is as simple as replacing the Gitea binary or container image with the corresponding Forgejo binary or container image.
@gbraad Upgraded from Gitea to Forgejo a few days ago.
Can confirm it was practically as easy as stop service -> download new binary -> start service -> pretend I am a wizard for migrating on first try.
