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

#openinfra

I've just installed #Forgejo in a #FreeBSD Jail, but I couldn't find a guide on how to set it up.

Luckily, I could get away with using the instructions of @marzlberger 's blog post on installing Gitea: https://bsdbox.de/en/artikel/gitea/gitea-lokal 😎

The steps were basically identical, I just had to replace "gitea" with "forgejo" in all the commands and paths.

If I ever want to migrate my Gitea instance to Forgejo, I now know how to do it.

okies, decided, today's the day... gonna start moving my repositories to codeberg... notabug.org's too consistently inconsistently available. n_n a little sad. mmmmmmuch fondness for notabug.org. ... i wonder, if i leave the repository off the end of the url in codeberg's migration tool... does it allow migrating everything in one go? :3

or should i skip codeberg, and go full forgejo? :)

(Thanks to @dthompson for the initial version of this service!)

Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:

20.171.207.41 GPTBot/1.2

85.208.96.211 SemrushBot/7~bl

54.36.148.64 AhrefsBot/7.0

114.119.139.53 PetalBot

With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest

They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack Well, in a sense it is one

Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape content and starts doing it on a massive scale Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?

For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough

Please boost for visibility and be prepared!

And #forgejo already has a level of #ActivityPub federation support, like for federated stars:

https://domaindrivenarchitecture.org/posts/2024-06-05-howto-federated-stars

Hopefully with @forgefed adoption on the roadmap too, where this open standard supported by @NGIZero has been significantly progressed, but needs implementers in active feedback loops to refine and mature the specs.

The #Forgejo monthly report was published ✨

Forgejo v12.0 branch was cut on 25 June, for a planned release on 17 July. Forgejo v11.0.2 was released on 18 June, addressing several bugs. Forgejo Runner v6.4.0 introduced offline caching support.

The minimum required Git version has been bumped and the search has been improved.

There is strong enthusiasm for translating Forgejo.
