By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

      To be honest I don’t remember why I set up gitea with MySQL instead of sqlite (or MariaDB), its quite a few years ago. And sqlite would probably be fine for my single-user instance

        If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.

        Then again, it’s 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.

          Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn’t have and won’t ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.

          (Coming from a SQLite fan.)
