Forgejo auto-upgrade script

Automatically download and run the latest Forgejo release.

Setup

• Install the following programs :

  • bun
  • find (findutils)
  • wget
  • cron

• In your Forgejo instance directory :

  • Create the following files :
    • a symbolic link of any name to a Forgejo executable (e.g. ln -s ./forgejo-x.y.z-linux-arch ./forgejo)
    • a restart.sh script (e.g. containing systemctl/screen commands)
  • Download the upgrade.js script

• Add the script to your crontab (e.g. 0 * * * * bash -c "cd <path> && bun ./upgrade.js" to make it run every hour).

My setup

As I'm managing services with screen, I made a custom restart.sh script that :

• stops the currently running screen session (if any) ;
• waits for the Forgejo port to be closed ;
• starts a new screen session ;
• waits for the Forgejo port to be open.

You may use it by providing the following parameters in a .env file :

• SCREEN_NAME : the screen session name
• SYMLINK_NAME : the name of the symbolic link to the Forgejo executable
• PORT : the Forgejo HTTP server's listening port.
