# Upgrade from Gogs

Gogs versions up to 0.9.97 can be smootlhy upgraded to Gitea.
Gogs versions up to 0.9.115 can be smootlhy upgraded to Gitea.

There are some steps to do so below.
Make sure to complete them as the gitea user in ~:
There are some steps to do so below. On Unix run as your Gogs user:

* Stop Gogs
* Copy Gogs `custom/conf/app.ini` to Gitea.
* Copy Gogs `conf/` to `options/` for Gitea.
* If you have more custom content on `custom/` folder, like templates or localization files, you should carrefully merge manually because these files changed on Gitea.
* Copy `data/` folder from Gogs to Gitea. It contains issue attachments and avatars.
* Run Gitea
* Create a Gogs backup with `gogs dump`. This creates `gogs-dump-[timestamp].zip` file containing all your Gogs data.
* Download the file matching your platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea)
* Put the binary at the desired install location
* Copy `gogs/custom/conf/app.ini` to `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini`
* If you have custom `templates, public` in `gogs/custom/` copy them to `gitea/custom/`.
[Due to a bug](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/529) custom templates aren't working at the moment.
* If you have any other custom folders like `gitignore, label, license, locale, readme` in `gogs/custom/conf` copy them to `gitea/custom/options`.
* Copy `gogs/data/` to `gitea/data/`. It contains issue attachments and avatars.
* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`
* Enter Gitea admin panel on the UI, run `Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file` (caution: non-Gitea keys will be lost) and `Rewrite all update hook of repositories` (needed when custom config path is changed).


### Change gogs specific information:

* Rename `gogs-repositories/` to `gitea-repositories/`
* Rename `gogs-data/` to `gitea-data/`
* In your `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini` change:

FROM:
```
[database]
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/data/:DATABASE.db
[attachment]
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/attachments
[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/avatars
[log]
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/log
```

TO:
```
[database]
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/data/:DATABASE.db
[attachment]
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/attachments
[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/avatars
[log]
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/log
```

* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`


### Add Gitea to startup on Unix
Update the appropriate file from [gitea/scripts](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/scripts) with the right environment variables.

For distro's with systemd:

* Copy the updated script to `/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service`
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo systemctl enable gitea`
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo systemctl disable gogs`

For distro's with SysVinit:

* Copy the updated script to `/etc/init.d/gitea`
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo rc-update add gitea`
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo rc-update del gogs`
