forgejo.orgBeyond coding. We forge.

@HackerGeno @hostsharing @fsfe I am sad to hear about Gitea surrender to the dark side but same time I am glad to hear about @forgejo standing with the Resistance! #softwarefreedom

@jolheiser @HackerGeno @hostsharing @fsfe @forgejo I do not understand and it has a certain kind of taste that Gitea Ltd. choose a profit-oriented over a non-profit-oriented legal form. Everyone seeks to make money with FLOSS. That is fine. Sadly, there have been to many examples in the past and it is a rising business model to exploit FLOSS for commercial matters that limit people's freedom: #softwarefreedom

@forgejo @Codeberg congratulations to the whole team and everybody who helped making this happen in record time. 🤩🎉🎊

@forgejo Will you also provide ARMv6/ARMv7 binaries at your releases one day – for those currently running Gitea on e.g. BananaPis?

@IzzyOnDroid yes. There is a need for testers willing to verify the result works as intended. Would you like to be part of such a team?

@forgejo @dachary@mastodon.online I don't think I'll have much time to do real testing. On my end, it's indeed running on a BananaPi with Armbian, mostly mirroring my repos from different places but also being primary for my local stuff (configurations etc), so it would be bad if it "breaks things". But if the worst thing should "usually" be that the binary isn't starting up, or anything else that could be fixed by just replacing it with the previous Gitea, why not.

@forgejo @Codeberg I love the intitiative, but I wanted to ask: Will you also add builds for e.g. linux-armv6? I run my own gitea on an OG model-B Raspberry Pi, so an armv6 binary is a must...

@padraic @Codeberg @IzzyOnDroid @dachary@mastodon.online Forgejo 1.18.0 will provide armv6 binaries. Those can also be used on armv7.

The Forgejo release process will include the generation of arm-6 binaries and a qemu based test that verifies it is functional.

If you are curious about how it is done checkout this (very short) pull request.

Codeberg.orgWIP: [CI] add support for armv6Refs: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/117 * 🕙 Full CI run on tag https://forgejo-woodpecker.gna.org/dachary/forgejo/pipeline/109 * ✅ Partial CI run to create the release https://forgejo-woodpecker.gna.org/dachary/forgejo/pipeline/101/7 Manual testing possible using https://codeberg.org/dachary/forgejo/releases/tag/v80.0.1

@forgejo Thanks for the follow up. Woodpecker also looks like a nice tool!

@forgejo @padraic @Codeberg @dachary@mastodon.online That's wonderful, thanks! Until then I'll update to the latest Gitea so the setup should be ready for the drop-in replacement. I guess there are some notes on migration somewhere with things one should take care for, if any?

#Forgejo is based on the #Esperanto word for "Forge" - #Forĝejo.

It has one single correct pronunciation, and here you can listen to it in the attached audio file 🙂

Available now. It's #FOSS, always will be, and is built exclusively with free software and tools - no Google sheets, zoom conferences - ONLY FOSS - we're serious about #dogfooding our open source!
