Got a strange one

Forgejo Helm install with the PV being a mounted NFS volume from a Synology NAS

Every now and again the Avatar icon for one of the orgainistaions stops loading and throws internal errors claiming to not have permission to read the file.

If I ssh into the NAS and run ls in the folder it all works again.

New Post: Forgejo Workflow Action to Publish a Hugo Blog

https://janusworx.com/work/forgejo-workflow-action-to-publish-hugo-blog/

Now that the restore of my self-hosted #Gitlab on the new server is constantly failing for unknown reasons, I am really considering throwing it into the bin altogether and moving to something more lightweight like #Forgejo.

It's official! Me, @Beowulf, @famfo and @Thelie will carry out a Forgejo Contribution Workshop during GPN23 in Karlsruhe.

Getting Forgejo Helm Deployment to Also Trust a Local Certificate Authority

https://blog.hardill.me.uk/2025/06/08/getting-forgejo-helm-deployment-to-also-trust-a-local-certificate-authority/

Earlier this week I blogged about getting a Forgejo Action Runner to trust my local Certificate Authority so it could check out projects.Last night while trying to setup Keycloak as a authentication source, I ran into another instance of this problem, this time with the core Forgejo application.

The problem was basically the same, the Keycloak instance is protected by a HTTPS certificate […]

I've been managing my Docker Compose files, that run on a few Raspberry Pis, using a custom Ansible playbook. That all started before I had my local Forgejo instance running.

Now I decided I want to do GitOps to manage the compose files, so I need to decide whether I want to shoehorn it with Portainer, or go full-on Kubernetes (k3s). Time for some testing!

Any #forgejo users managed to mount an extra CA cert with a helm install?

Are syntax close enough? I found a plugin for #ObsidianMD to host notes in a Git repo, but don't want to use GitHub (obviously). Any chance that would "just work" if I host the notes on ForgeJo as well?

Looks like I found three things that my Raspberry Pi 4 are struggling with: building stuff on my Forgejo builder, building ESPHome firmware, and running Ollama for Home Assistant Voice.

I'm not trying to throw shade on Raspberry Pis, not at all. Love them. But it seems like I need something more powerful for those corner cases that I've been finding.

Maybe a Pi 5?

If anyone is interested in contributing to FOSS projects (as everyone here as a lot of free time, right?)

it would be really cool to adjust this change https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul/+/859939 to support #Forgejo and to land it in #ZuulCI

@forgejo I have a new #git repository on my laptop of a project I started today. What's the procedure for pushing it up to my #forgejo instance?

OK #ForgeJo folks. My instance is running with HTTPS with a certificate from a private CA. I've stood up the Action Runner in a docker container on a different machine, I mounted the CA cert, but also generated a config file to have it ignore the warning about the certificate when registering, but if I include a step like checkout it fails to pull the repo via the HTTPS URL because the cert is not trusted in the container it runs the action in.

Any suggestions?
