Gitea lineage, managed Forgejo hosting.
Fjord is for teams who searched for Gitea hosting because they want the lightweight forge Gitea made familiar. We run Forgejo, Gitea's fork, as a managed dedicated forge.
Managed Forgejo from the Gitea family
Use Fjord when the reason you wanted Gitea was a small, understandable forge.
Forgejo is Gitea's fork, so the product shape is continuous: Git hosting, issues, pull requests, releases, SSH access, and the same basic forge concepts. The data move is not automatic on modern Gitea, so plan it as a migration into a clean Forgejo destination. Read the Gitea migration guide for the verified transfer surface.
When Fjord is the wrong answer
Stay on Gitea when you need exact upstream Gitea compatibility, a database-level takeover of a current Gitea server, or a provider that specifically sells hosted upstream Gitea.
What the Gitea searcher should know
Gitea is underneath Forgejo
Forgejo is Gitea's fork: the same lightweight forge lineage, familiar workflows, and familiar project concepts, carried forward under community governance.
Managed operations
Use Fjord when the work you want to avoid is upgrades, TLS, monitoring, backups, restores, and runner maintenance.
Standard Git workflows
Forgejo keeps familiar Git, SSH, pull requests, issues, API access, and export paths, so the move is smaller than switching to a proprietary forge.
A real migration boundary
Modern Gitea is no longer a drop-in database move to current Forgejo. The migration guide owns what carries and what needs rebuilding.
