In recent customer projects I had less to do with PostgreSQL but more with reviewing infrastructures and give recommendations about what and how to improve. In all of those projects GitLab<\/a> is used in one way or the other. Some only use it for managing their code in Git and work on issues, others use pipelines to build their stuff, and others almost use the full set of features. Gitlab is a great product, but sometimes you do not need the full set of features so I started to look for alternatives mostly because of my own interest. One of the more popular choices seemed to be Gitea<\/a> but as a company was created<\/a> around it, a fork was created and this is Forgejo<\/a>. The FAQ<\/a> summarizes the most important topics around the project pretty well, so please read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As FreeBSD 15<\/a> was released on 2. December that’s the perfect chance to get that up and running there and have a look how it feels like. I am not going into the installation of FreeBSD 15, this really is straight forward. I just want to mention that I opted for the “packaged base system” instead of the distributions sets which is currently in tech preview. What that means is that the whole system is installed and managed with packages and you don’t need freebsd-update<\/a> anymore. Although it is still available, it will not work anymore if you try to use it:<\/p>\n\n\n

\nroot@forgejo:~ $ cat \/etc\/os-release \nNAME=FreeBSD\nVERSION="15.0-RELEASE"\nVERSION_ID="15.0"\nID=freebsd\nANSI_COLOR="0;31"\nPRETTY_NAME="FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE"\nCPE_NAME="cpe:\/o:freebsd:freebsd:15.0"\nHOME_URL="https:\/\/FreeBSD.org\/"\nBUG_REPORT_URL="https:\/\/bugs.FreeBSD.org\/"\nroot@forgejo:~ $ freebsd-update fetch\nfreebsd-update is incompatible with the use of packaged base.  Please see\nhttps:\/\/wiki.freebsd.org\/PkgBase for more information.\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Coming back to Forgejo: On FreeBSD this is available as a package, so you can just go ahead and install it:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nroot@forgejo:~$ pkg search forgejo\nforgejo-13.0.2_1               Compact self-hosted Git forge\nforgejo-act_runner-9.1.0_2     Act runner is a runner for Forgejo based on the Gitea Act runner\nforgejo-lts-11.0.7_1           Compact self-hosted Git forge\nforgejo7-7.0.14_3              Compact self-hosted Git service\nroot@forgejo:~ $ pkg install forgejo\nUpdating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue...\nFreeBSD-ports repository is up to date.\nUpdating FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalogue...\nFreeBSD-ports-kmods repository is up to date.\nUpdating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue...\nFreeBSD-base repository is up to date.\nAll repositories are up to date.\nThe following 32 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):\n\nNew packages to be INSTALLED:\n        FreeBSD-clibs-lib32: 15.0 [FreeBSD-base]\n        brotli: 1.1.0,1 [FreeBSD-ports]\n...\nNumber of packages to be installed: 32\n\nThe process will require 472 MiB more space.\n100 MiB to be downloaded.\n\nProceed with this action?

The above stores this information in gitattributes(5) files, so\n     that file needs to be added to the repository:\n\n     $ git add .gitattributes\n\n  4.

What I really like with the FreeBSD packages is, that they usually give clear instructions on what to do. We’ll go with the web-based installer, so:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nroot@forgejo:~ $ chown git:git \/usr\/local\/etc\/forgejo\/conf\nroot@forgejo:~ $ rm \/usr\/local\/etc\/forgejo\/conf\/app.ini\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service -l | grep for\nforgejo\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service forgejo enable\nforgejo enabled in \/etc\/rc.conf\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service forgejo start\n2025\/12\/12 14:16:42 ...etting\/repository.go:318:loadRepositoryFrom() [W] SCRIPT_TYPE "bash" is not on the current PATH.

Seems bash is somehow expected, but this is not available right now:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nroot@forgejo:~ $ which bash\nroot@forgejo:~ $ \n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Once more:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nroot@forgejo:~ $ pkg install bash\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service forgejo stop\nStopping forgejo.\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service forgejo start\n\n[1] Check paths and basic configuration\n - [E] Failed to find configuration file at '\/usr\/local\/etc\/forgejo\/conf\/app.ini'.\n - [E] If you've never ran Forgejo yet, this is normal and '\/usr\/local\/etc\/forgejo\/conf\/app.ini' will be created for you on first run.\n - [E] Otherwise check that you are running this command from the correct path and\/or provide a `--config` parameter.\n - [E] Cannot proceed without a configuration file\nFAIL\nCommand error: stat \/usr\/local\/etc\/forgejo\/conf\/app.ini: no such file or directory\nroot@forgejo:~ $ service forgejo status\nforgejo is running as pid 3448.\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The web installer is available on port 3000 and you can choose between the usual database backends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To keep it simple I went with SQLite3, kept everything at the default and provided the Administrator information further down the screen. Before the installer succeeded I had to create these two directories:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nroot@forgejo:~ $ mkdir \/usr\/local\/share\/forgejo\/data\/\nroot@forgejo:~ $ chown git:git \/usr\/local\/share\/forgejo\/data\/\nroot@forgejo:~ $ mkdir \/usr\/local\/share\/forgejo\/log\nroot@forgejo:~ $ chown git:git \/usr\/local\/share\/forgejo\/log\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Once that was done it went fine and this is the welcome screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As with the other tools in that area there are the common sections like “Issues”, “Pull requests”, and “Milestones”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the next post we’re going to create an organization, a repository and try to create a simple, how GitLab calls it, pipeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
