# Upgrade from Gogs
|
|
|
|
Gogs, version 0.9.146 and older, can be easily migrated to Gitea.
|
|
|
|
There are some basic steps to follow. On a Linux system run as the Gogs user:
|
|
|
|
* Create a Gogs backup with `gogs backup`. This creates `gogs-backup-[timestamp].zip` file
|
|
containing all important Gogs data. You would need it if you wanted to move to the `gogs` back later.
|
|
* Download the file matching the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/).
|
|
It should be `1.0.x` version. Migrating from `gogs` to any other version is impossible.
|
|
* Put the binary at the desired install location.
|
|
* Copy `gogs/custom/conf/app.ini` to `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini`.
|
|
* Copy custom `templates, public` from `gogs/custom/` to `gitea/custom/`.
|
|
* For any other custom folders, such as `gitignore, label, license, locale, readme` in
|
|
`gogs/custom/conf`, copy them to `gitea/custom/options`.
|
|
* Copy `gogs/data/` to `gitea/data/`. It contains issue attachments and avatars.
|
|
* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`.
|
|
* Enter Gitea admin panel on the UI, run `Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file`.
|
|
* Launch every major version of the binary ( `1.1.4` → `1.2.3` → `1.3.4` → `1.4.2` → etc ) to migrate database.
|
|
* If custom or config path was changed, run `Rewrite all update hook of repositories`.
|
|
|
|
## Change gogs specific information
|
|
|
|
* Rename `gogs-repositories/` to `gitea-repositories/`
|
|
* Rename `gogs-data/` to `gitea-data/`
|
|
* In `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini` change:
|
|
|
|
FROM:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[database]
|
|
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/data/:DATABASE.db
|
|
[attachment]
|
|
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/attachments
|
|
[picture]
|
|
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/avatars
|
|
[log]
|
|
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
TO:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[database]
|
|
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/data/:DATABASE.db
|
|
[attachment]
|
|
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/attachments
|
|
[picture]
|
|
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/avatars
|
|
[log]
|
|
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading to most recent `gitea` version
|
|
|
|
After successful migration from `gogs` to `gitea 1.0.x`, it is possible to upgrade `gitea` to a modern version
|
|
in a two steps process.
|
|
|
|
Upgrade to [`gitea 1.6.4`](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/1.6.4/) first. Download the file matching
|
|
the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/1.6.4/) and replace the binary.
|
|
Run Gitea at least once and check that everything works as expected.
|
|
|
|
Then repeat the procedure, but this time using the [latest release](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/@version@/).
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading from a more recent version of Gogs
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from a more recent version of Gogs (up to `0.11.x`) may also be possible, but will require a bit more work.
|
|
See [#4286](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/4286), which includes various Gogs `0.11.x` versions.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from Gogs `0.12.x` and above will be increasingly more difficult as the projects diverge further apart in configuration and schema.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* If errors are encountered relating to custom templates in the `gitea/custom/templates`
|
|
folder, try moving the templates causing the errors away one by one. They may not be
|
|
compatible with Gitea or an update.
|
|
|
|
## Add Gitea to startup on Unix
|
|
|
|
Update the appropriate file from [gitea/contrib](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/main/contrib)
|
|
with the right environment variables.
|
|
|
|
For distros with systemd:
|
|
|
|
* Copy the updated script to `/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service`
|
|
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo systemctl enable gitea`
|
|
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo systemctl disable gogs`
|
|
|
|
For distros with SysVinit:
|
|
|
|
* Copy the updated script to `/etc/init.d/gitea`
|
|
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo rc-update add gitea`
|
|
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo rc-update del gogs`
