2026-01-21: Upgrade Forgejo v13 -> v14; Postgres 17 -> 18

The downtime was a little longer than expected (1.5h vs 1h) as we had some issues during the DB upgrade due to some permission issues on the unix socket for pgbouncer. These didn’t show up during the DEV upgrade and it took a bit to track them down, but we got it resolved eventually.

Future updates should be faster again, as the next major DB upgrade will take a while.
It was the first major DB upgrade we did while being “live”, so we’re happy everything went well in the end.

I have been using the system post upgrade for production uses, and havent faced any issues. Thanks a million for the update. It has been smooth so far, and the major impact was the project kanban board, which I was waiting to come live.

You are awesome. Can’t wait to move my projects from Github over here.
