▲ 439 ▼ 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks with no fix imminent (www.theregister.com) submitted 11 months ago by festus@lemmy.ca to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 86 comments fedilink hide all child comments By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Gittea -> Forgejo10 -> Forgejo11 LTS, in Docker. Surprisingly quick, painless and smooth. (My only issue was not Forgejo, but MySQL. Because the hardware is ancient and Docker compose pulled down a new version of mysql8 at the same time as pulling forgejo. New version of mysql8 didnt support my CPU architecture. Easy fix was to change the label mysql8oraclelinux7 in Docker compose and pull that image.
