Deoren Moor b63e2e0ded Update en-us and fr-fr versions of the "Upgrade from Gogs" doc (#4618)
* Update "Upgrade from Gogs" en-us doc

- Move "Change gogs specific information" FROM/TO steps up
  to just beneath matching section header, adjust indention
  and explicitly specify syntax of code sample to provide
  highlighting

- Adjust header levels to match what appears to be the
  intended level, remove trailing decoration (see below)

- Move "Upgrading to most recent ..." section down, remove
  decoration (section header formatting likely covers this
  well enough already)

refs go-gitea/gitea#4286, go-gitea/gitea#3558

* Update "Upgrade from Gogs" fr-fr doc

- Adjust indention and explicitly specify syntax of code

# Upgrade from Gogs
Gogs, version 0.9.146 and older, can be easily migrated to Gitea.
There are some basic steps to follow. On a Linux system run as the Gogs user:
* Create a Gogs backup with `gogs backup`. This creates `gogs-backup-[timestamp].zip` file
containing all important Gogs data. You would need it if you wanted to move to the `gogs` back later.
* Download the file matching the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea).
It should be `1.0.x` version. Migrating from `gogs` to any other version is impossible.
* Put the binary at the desired install location.
* Copy `gogs/custom/conf/app.ini` to `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini`.
* Copy custom `templates, public` from `gogs/custom/` to `gitea/custom/`.
* For any other custom folders, such as `gitignore, label, license, locale, readme` in
`gogs/custom/conf`, copy them to `gitea/custom/options`.
* Copy `gogs/data/` to `gitea/data/`. It contains issue attachments and avatars.
* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`.
* Enter Gitea admin panel on the UI, run `Rewrite '.ssh/authorized_keys' file`.
* If custom or config path was changed, run `Rewrite all update hook of repositories`.
## Change gogs specific information
* Rename `gogs-repositories/` to `gitea-repositories/`
* Rename `gogs-data/` to `gitea-data/`
* In `gitea/custom/conf/app.ini` change:
FROM:
```ini
[database]
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/data/:DATABASE.db
[attachment]
PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/attachments
[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs-data/avatars
[log]
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gogs/log
```
TO:
```ini
[database]
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/data/:DATABASE.db
[attachment]
PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/attachments
[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea-data/avatars
[log]
ROOT_PATH = /home/:USER/gitea/log
```
* Verify by starting Gitea with `gitea web`
## Upgrading to most recent `gitea` version
After successful migration from `gogs` to `gitea 1.0.x` it is possible to upgrade to the recent `gitea` version.
Simply download the file matching the destination platform from the [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea)
and replace the binary.
## Troubleshooting
* If errors are encountered relating to custom templates in the `gitea/custom/templates`
folder, try moving the templates causing the errors away one by one. They may not be
compatible with Gitea or an update.
## Add Gitea to startup on Unix
Update the appropriate file from [gitea/contrib](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/contrib)
with the right environment variables.
For distros with systemd:
* Copy the updated script to `/etc/systemd/system/gitea.service`
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo systemctl enable gitea`
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo systemctl disable gogs`
For distros with SysVinit:
* Copy the updated script to `/etc/init.d/gitea`
* Add the service to the startup with: `sudo rc-update add gitea`
* Disable old gogs startup script: `sudo rc-update del gogs`
