We have a Forgejo rpm in the Fedora f41 repository, version 10 for x86_64. A
aarch64 variant is currently missing (there is, however, a version 9 in COPR).
I tried to install it on my Fedora Server test instance to check how it goes.
The rpm doesn’t create a working directory, e.g. /var/lib/forgejo, nor a
configuration directory and config file, e.g. /etc/forgejo/app.ini. And it
creates a (admin) user git, but no home directory as stated in the passwords
entry.
A systemctl start forgejo ends with
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/forgejo.service; disabled; preset:
disabled)
Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d
└─10-timeout-abort.conf, 50-keep-warm.conf
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2025-03-08

Invocation: 54b4c38e9cdb46ac8860b0ab5562ffb7
Process: 18368 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/forgejo web --config
/etc/forgejo/app.ini (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Main PID: 18368 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
In journal I found:

Mar 08 21:44:46 cbox.fritz.box systemd[1]: forgejo.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'. directory
Indeed, there is no forgejo in /usr/local/bin but in /usr/bin.
When I, as an unprivileged user, launch forgejo directly, it starts with a
workpath for repos from /usr/bin – rather suboptimal.
Is this the intended result of the rpm installation? I also couldn't find any
information about what an admin might have to do after the installation.
Any help or information greatly appreciated.
