Is it usable ?

[PhilippeAccorsi]

Hi,

can we use this script or is not usable ?

:)

hey @PhilippeAccorsi .

my migration project is still pending, but I gave it a try a couple of times on a test system.
So far it worked and it's generally safe to use, but let me clarify a few things, because due to our setup we faced some issues.

We are using SAML Authentication on Gitlab and OIDC Authentication on Forgejo.
I am not even sure if OIDC to OIDC would work, but the users will only need to login once on the new system and their accounts will be created.
However, importing users personal project won't work unless the user has logged in in advance.

So, if you are unable to import the users, it will work with all the repositories, and it will fail on those repositories stored in the users personal space.

Feel free to use it, and let me know what issue you encounter.

I recently migrated my setup using this project, using Gitlab 16 -> Forgejo 13.1

I've made my own Docker container to run it: https://github.com/vpmv/gitlab-to-forgejo-docker

Thanks @maxadamo for the great work

[maxadamo]

thanks @vpmv !

I can also confirm it works from gitlab 15 to forgejo 14. Used the docker version from @vpmv
I had to add the migration section as described in https://forum.gitea.com/t/migrate-repository-gitea-to-another-gitea-server/8761/6 as well as force forgejo to use the external ip from my gitlab installation via extra_hosts

Works with gitlab 18 and forgejo 14 rootless ❤️

Yes works fantastic (ony tried repos though)! Caveat: need to set the Organizations (namespaces) as public in forgejo or it won't work.

I've now written a more advanced version of this code which supports importing users based on Forgejo roles and creation of Forgejo organizational teams. It might be worth a look. https://github.com/extorn/gitlab-to-forgejo
