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?

Man, I really appreciate all this info. Very helpful. It will take me some time to digest everything and put it into an action plan. I just thought, hey that would be cool and a nice project I can sink my teeth into and learn a lot on the way while deploying. Again, thank you for taking the time to give some direction and inspiration.
