Very happy with the transition. Gitlab is much bigger than it needs to be. Forgejo is much simpler and VERY easy to setup. Literally ~5 mins in docker.
With that said, I am solo, so got very little requirements. I don’t know how it works for many users and collaboration.
Gogs is what became Gitea, is what became Forgejo. The fork history is a bit complicated.
But if Gogs works for you, no need to change.
I just run into a problem of Gogs not working well in Podman containers. I looked at Forgejo and it appears to have rootful and rootless setup configurations in docker. Gogs run well for me as a native Arch Linux service, but not so well under containers.
@Krafting @poVoq I switched from GitLab to Gitea to Forgejo.

https://gogs.io/docs user here. I don’t remember why. It works.
