So I initially had been using gitea. It took me a while to get ssh to work properly but then it did. Then I learned of forgejo and decided to go full foss. Only problem is that i cant get ssh to work for the life of me. Here’s my setup

  • Forgejo is in a docker compose file in which I’ve setup a docker network
  • My ssh port for my server is not 22
  • I followed the gitea sshing shim directions I used previously to a T and couldn’t get any sort of anything to work

My best guess is there’s some base configuration difference between the two that I don’t know of that maybe somebody here can point out for me. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    So sshd is running. The first question is: is it running on the port you expect it to run? The main host can have sshd too and maybe you connect to the wrong port? Did you use a ~/.ssh/config for your forgejo connection?

      I don’t have an explicit config file no, I don’t remember needing it before though. I’ve followed the steps https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-with-docker which worked with gitea but doesn’t work with forgejo. I didn’t see anything that mentioned needing a config for the first method listed there at least. I suppose I could try some of the other methods listed there but I liked option A the best generally.
