Upgrade from Gogs

Gogs versions up to 0.9.146 (db schema version 15) can be smoothly upgraded to Gitea.

There are some steps to do so below. On Unix run as your Gogs user:

  • Create a Gogs backup with gogs dump. This creates gogs-dump-[timestamp].zip file containing all your Gogs data.
  • Download the file matching your platform from the downloads page.
  • Put the binary at the desired install location.
  • Copy gogs/custom/conf/app.ini to gitea/custom/conf/app.ini.
  • If you have custom templates, public in gogs/custom/ copy them to gitea/custom/.
  • If you have any other custom folders like 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, then run Rewrite all update hook of repositories (needed when custom config path is changed).

Change gogs specific information:

  • Rename gogs-repositories/ to gitea-repositories/
  • Rename gogs-data/ to gitea-data/
  • In your gitea/custom/conf/app.ini change:

FROM:

[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:

[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

Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter errors 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.

Add Gitea to startup on Unix

Update the appropriate file from gitea/contrib with the right environment variables.

For distro's 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 distro's 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
