+A month ago I installed [Forgejo][].  I've been using it to develop a
+couple of projects.
+
+TODO:
+- server setup
+  - apache configuration
+  - systemd service
+  - container
+- runner setup
+  - rootless podman w/ dedicated `runner` user
+  - rootless podman runners on odroid n2l w/armbian, pi5, and
+    debian
+  - note about podman socket and enable-linger
+  - systemd service (plus config override)
+  - custom config to enable host networking
+  - armbian: install nft (check `pi.txt`)
+  - labels.  note about ubuntu-act
+
 pros:
-- great UI
-- most of the stuff i really care about, except gists
-- easier to set up than gitlab
-- much faster than gitlab
+- Great UI.  Very similar to [GitLab][]
+- almost everything I care about: issues, PRs, kanban,
+  projects, organization, MFA,
+
+- easier to install and upgrade than [gitlab][]
+- faster and less resource-intensive than [gitlab][]
+- forgejo actions syntax is very similar to github actions
 - used by codeberg.org
+- plays nice with podman and rootless podman
 
 cons:
 - no gists
 - finicky runner setup
-- instructions are good, not great
+- instructions are good, but there are gaps
+- minor differences in action syntax but they pop up
+- some actions only support older versions relative to
+  github
 
 other:
 
 - see gist for notes about forgejo, and podman command
-- rootless podman runners on odroid n2l w/armbian, pi5, and
-  debian 
 - runner running in rootless podman as runner user
   - note about podman socket and enable-linger
   - systemd service (plus config override)
