Its a fork of gitea. It formed when gitea did something that the community didn't like. I don't remember the reasoning. But, I remember someone sending me a bunch of info about it in the past and it was enough for me to switch.
Thanks, I didn't know about that. Gitea itself is a fork of Gogs though. Wheel of karma?
You can actually (for now) just replace gitea with forgejo while keeping all the files in place and it just works. Really easy then using docker, cause all it takes is changing the container image.
Thanks. I've run gitea without docker and it was fine. I'll have to figure out docker someday though.
