If it helps motivate you to give it a shot, I found gitea’s runner very confusing to set up, but I felt like forgejo was better designed, pretty easy and well documented.
Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD?

Out of curiosity, how did you switch to Forgejo? I thought Gitea and Forgejo have diverged to the point where you can no longer just switch over without losing stuff.

I hadn’t used gitea for long. I just had both running, and then cloned my repos one at a time manually. So long as I had the code, I didn’t really care.

Got it, thanks.

@yaroto98 @Carol2852 Same here, switched from gitea to forgejo. I still was using the act runner for some time, later I replaced it with the forgejo-runner.
Works pretty smooth!

When you switched, did you lose all of your Gitea data? Or was that somehow importable?
finn@toot.fan 1 day ago
@witten I have switched maybe a year ago or something like that. Didn't loose anything because I was running a compatible version at that time:

Ahh gotcha, makes sense.

I run their act binary on one of my servers. Can’t remember much of the setup, so I can’t be too bad. I did have to change the used images though, but I guess that comes with maintenance of you own runner anyway.
