Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I’ve heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn’t run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

    So I’m going to suggest something slightly different - put it on both github and codeberg, then note that its synced from your local repo as a mirror and link it in a readme.

    Gives you a few things

    • Readily accessible and fast options for the recruiter to access, even if your power is out / motherboard blows up / whatever.
    • Demonstrates your familiarity with a world beyond github
    • Demonstrates you can stand up your own local repo (if this is a thing they care about - if not don’t bother with your own repo for just this)

    As for the server itself I’d say forgejo personally.
