Is it worth migrating docker apps to truenas scale community apps? (lemm.ee)

I've got forgejo configured and running as a custom docker app, but I've noticed there's a community app available now. I like using the community apps when available since I can keep them updated more easily than having to check/update image tags.

Making the switch would mean migrating from sqlite to postgres, plus some amount of file restructuring. It'll also tie my setup to truenas, which is a platform I like, but after being bit by truecharts I'm nervous about getting too attached to any platform.

Has anyone made a similar migration and can give suggestions? All I know about the postgres config is where the data is stored, so I'm not even sure how I'd connect to import anything. Is there a better way to get notified about/apply container images for custom apps instead?

As a fellow TrueNAS user, i'd advice you to wait a little bit, especially if you already have a working deployment.
The action runner isn't yet available, and there is still some bugs to iron out (wrong password used for the database, you have to manually correct it on first init).
