Add Forgejo Support

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea created by Codeberg that is designed to be a drop in replacement for Gitea.

Using the Gitea role and overriding a few variables in your vars.yml file should work.

Most importantly, you should override the gitea_container_image variable: https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-gitea/blob/a75e575ecdec6a734e772b9df94d24dc54f1fb7f/defaults/main.yml#LL19C1-L19C112

Perhaps this way:

# Not strictly necessary to override these, but it prevents confusion
gitea_identifier: "{{ mash_playbook_service_identifier_prefix }}forgejo"
gitea_base_path: "{{ mash_playbook_base_path }}/{{ mash_playbook_service_base_directory_name_prefix }}forgejo"
gitea_config_database_name: forgejo
gitea_config_database_username: forgejo

gitea_container_image: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:1.19.3-0

I haven't given it a try. If you do and this works well for you, we can document this on our gitea.md documentation page and possibly by creating a new forgego.md page which links to gitea.md#using-forgejo

At some point, it may make sense to fork the role, but for now it doesn't seem like there are any practical differences between Gitea and Forgejo and it doesn't seem like there's a good reason to go for Forgejo just yet (unless one has appeared and I don't know about it yet).

I wanted to get forgejo running with all of the mash backup addons but I ran into some permissions issues from a fresh install. Any recommendations?

Turns out using the rootless package codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:1.20-rootless was the ticket. Works great so far.

Created a Forgejo role if you're interested. Attempting to merge upstream as we speak.

Forgejo has been officially added to the playbook.
