      I would like to know if there are any tips or instructions about moving from a cloudron packaged app to a custom Docker app for the same software? The context is that I have Gitea in my Cloudron and I would like to move to Forgejo. I don't mind to have to maintain the app on my own moving forward, but I would like to keep all the data I have in my current Gitea installation.

      I'm thinking of backing up all data and then restoring in the new install "Import From External Backup", would that work? The domain would be the same.

        Hi @ioctl,

        its been a while since I last did it, but when updating an app from the commandline you could easily switch to a custom fork when using the update parameter with an existing location. For the way back there was an additional parameter involved but the cloudron cli should have it in its help text.

        PS: I would just start with a fork of the Cloudron gitea packaging and then adapt the code from there.

            @ioctl are you still keeping this going? can you open an app request for Forgejo and share the repo?
