Show HN: Quick install script for self-hosted Forgejo (Git+CI) server

I wanted to get Forgejo on my VM on a local NAS fast, and I realized that getting everything running with Git and CI working was ... harder than I anticipated. After spending more time than I wanted, and bugging lovely people at Forgejo's matrix, I came up with this:

https://wkoszek.github.io/easyforgejo/

With this script, you should get Forgejo installed on your Linux computer in 2min. I tested this on a VM for now, and it works well enough for beta launch.

Repo is here:

Let me know what you think and submit PRs if you find bugs. I'd not use it in production just yet.

hi, I don't use debian based linux so I can't test this, but I had some nits for the website: 1. I would specify the OS dependencies (apt and systemd), and 2. I would display the actual script under the install command to make it easier to review what's going on (faster that clicking the small github link and then opening the relevant file)

Hey. I liked your feedback, so I updated the website.

You can give it a shot in VM - I've done testing on macOS, and then used Ubuntu 24.04 home box to install it, also in multipass. In GitHub I put howto.
