I’ve got forgejo configured and running as a custom docker app, but I’ve noticed there’s a community app available now. I like using the community apps when available since I can keep them updated more easily than having to check/update image tags.

Making the switch would mean migrating from sqlite to postgres, plus some amount of file restructuring. It’ll also tie my setup to truenas, which is a platform I like, but after being bit by truecharts I’m nervous about getting too attached to any platform.

Has anyone made a similar migration and can give suggestions? All I know about the postgres config is where the data is stored, so I’m not even sure how I’d connect to import anything. Is there a better way to get notified about/apply container images for custom apps instead?

    This is exactly what I do. I have a git repo with the config files and docker compose file that through the folder mapping all I have to do is docker compose up and it’s fully setup.

      Awesome! When you were putting it all together, did you find some resources/reading material/tutorials that helped you?

        I did. That was the way they had it setup in an *arr stack setup guide I was following. Unfortunately it’s been over a year so I don’t have a link. But if you’re interested I can send you my docker compose when I get chance

          Dude, I feel that loud and clear. LOL

          That sounds like a lot of work, having to remove secrets and clean it up just for me. If you feel up to it, I would certainly love to have a look see. At your convenience of course.
