forgejo
Forgejo, a self-hosted software forge. Git hosting, code review, issues, package registries, wikis and CI with Forgejo Actions, behind a web interface and an API. Built like upstream's release binaries, with the web frontend built in. Two release lines, each its own APT component, for Debian 12 and 13, Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 on amd64 and arm64.

follows every upstream release, minors and majors included. Currently 17.0.1.
Not published yet. The first forgejo release is being built. These commands will work once it lands at deb.freshdeb.com/forgejo; the versions shown are the ones package.yaml will publish.
1Trust the signing key (once per machine)

3Install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install forgejo
apt policy forgejo # expect 17.0.1-1+freshdeb~…Before you install forgejo
Neither Debian nor Ubuntu ship forgejo. The service isn't enabled on install: until the install wizard is done, the first visitor to port 3000 configures the instance and becomes its administrator. Run systemctl enable --now forgejo when you're ready to complete it, then make /etc/forgejo read-only for Forgejo, as upstream's guide says. Upgrades migrate the database with no way back, so take a forgejo dump before a new major.
How it's packaged
No distribution packages forgejo, so the packaging is ours, written the way Debian would. The build, the defaults and the layout follow upstream's wherever upstream has them.
- Distributions
- None ship Forgejo. The packaging is ours, laid out as upstream's installation guide describes.
- Source
- Upstream's release source tarball, pinned by sha256. Unlike the git tag, it carries the vendored modules and the built web frontend.
- Build
- Upstream's release build: its static executable with cgo for SQLite, the tags
bindata timetzdata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify, the pinned Go toolchain and upstream's version stamps. Upstream's test suite needs databases and git servers, and doesn't run in the build. - Layout
- Upstream's:
/usr/bin/forgejo,/etc/forgejo/app.ini, the work path/var/lib/forgejo, thegituser (home/home/git) and upstream's systemd unit.forgejo adminfinds them without--configor--work-path. - Release lines

Packing list
Every release line of forgejo and the distributions it's built for. Each line is its own APT component and only gets the releases it follows (main: every upstream release, minors and majors included; lts: 15.x, minor releases included). After upstream end of life it stops building but stays installable. Hatched cells have no build: usually that distribution already ships the same or a newer version itself.
