forgejo v0.1.0

Dev tools

Forgejo — a self-hosted, community-governed Git forge (a Gitea fork): repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, a package registry, and CI via Forgejo Actions. Lightweight and fast. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service using SQLite with a persistent data volume.

nomad-pack run forgejo --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- forgejo

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: forgejo_data

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/forgejo_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/forgejo_data/_data backup:<bucket>/forgejo_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

forgejo

Forgejo — a self-hosted, community-governed Git forge (a hard fork of Gitea). Repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, wikis, a package registry, and CI via Forgejo Actions — lightweight, fast, and fully in your control.

Single host-networked Nomad service using SQLite with a persistent data volume.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run forgejo --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`http_port`	`3030`	Web UI / API port.
`ssh_port`	`2223`	Git-over-SSH port.
`root_url`	`""`	`ROOT_URL` — set to your real domain so clone URLs/links are correct.
`data_volume`	`forgejo_data`	`/data` — SQLite DB, repositories, config.
`image`	`codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 500, memory = 512 }`	Task resources.

Open the web UI and complete the first-run setup — the first registered user becomes the admin. Set root_url so clone URLs and links are right. Uses SQLite (great for small teams; switch to PostgreSQL via FORGEJO__database__* env for larger ones). Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for TLS. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
