As an aside, this process reminded me that I’m so glad Go exists for stuff like this. I’m biased because I used Go for a while a decade ago, but compared to the rats nest of duct tape that you typically get with a NodeJS server, it’s such a breath of fresh air to dig into the code.

I upgraded the live Gitea system this morning, followed my script that I’d made while testing all this in the test environment, and we’re all set. Trello issue migration can now begin. 👍 It occurred to me that since this is just a little home office server for 2 people, my process is perhaps a little extreme; most people would probably just have YOLO’d it on their main system. Maybe you can take the guy out of ops, but you can’t take ops out of the guy 😉

@sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place Do you even need gitea dump? I think at least when using sqlite it works fine to just stop it, copy/pack the whole data directory, and start it again. If you have LFS data in the same dir you'd even get everything backed up that way
