# 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.io/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 to the recent `gitea` version.
 | 
						|
Simply download the file matching the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea)
 | 
						|
and replace the binary.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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/master/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`
