Maintainer Migration

Migrating to Another Maintainer

If an app is no longer being maintained and updated, you can migrate to a new maintainer. Workflow:

  • A new maintainer in the App Store must create an app with the same name and version as the original.
  • You must update the maintainer names in Docker volumes and container names in the docker-compose.yml file. For example, open a terminal on the host and rename all Docker volumes as follows: oldmaintainer_forgejo_datanewmaintainer_forgejo_data
  • You can now download and start the app of the new maintainer from the app store. Given that the volume names were updated correctly, the app will contain the same data as before.
