Are you using the IPaddress:3000 to configure the web access, first?

While testing I got an error and was starting /usr/local/bin/forgejo manually, after that I could open the webui and got to the setup page.

With a default server install you should be able to connect over serveripaddress:9090 to manage it and also verifier the logfiles.

When I try to start forgejo with:

sudo systemctl status forgejo
[sudo] password for ilikelinux:

I moved it from Ask to Project Discussion to find out if there is something wrong with the package.

As I can confirm the Setup page has to be started manually … see systemctl output above.
