Install

read the "Installation from binary guide" on the Forgejo website.

Backup

Forgejo has a

Take a snapshot of em 📸:

TIMESTAMP=$(date -Iminutes)
tar -czvf $TIMESTAMP-forgejo-data.tar.gz -C /var/lib/forgejo .
pg_dump forgejo > $TIMESTAMP-forgejo.dump
cp /etc/forgejo/app.ini $TIMESTAMP-app.ini.bk

forgejo backup tool

According to the Forgejo docs this command should do the above and put everything in a zip file:

forgejo dump

BUT BEWARE!!

Although the zip file created by forgejo dump contains a copy of the database it has serious long standing open bugs that may introduce problems when re-injecting the SQL dump in a new database.

And then move those snapshots off the production disk so they are "backed up" 🦺

Upgrade

forgejo manager flush-queues --config /etc/forgejo/app.ini

Docs say to pause all the queues via "Site administration" but all I see is /admin/monitor/queue and all the queues there currently have nothing in them. So maybe if there was something I could pause them.
