Thankfully, I am not at that point of desperation to consider Atlassian a valid alternative.

yeah it was codeberg for me

Bitbucket lol .I would rather not.

I used to love gitlab (great CI!) but the quality is really going down. Everything is slow and there UI is full of bugs (god I hate there virtual srolll in epics).

There is also sourcehut. They have the best CI for me but sadly issue / merge request management is mail based.

Gitea looks like it is going the gitlab way with enterprise support and cloud because they need to make money.

Forgejo is cool (how do you prononce it?) but I am really sad they based there CI on github action.

Just to add to the fray, here’s what I’ve found:

• Forgejo - install on a PC at home - works well, but you can’t easily share your code with people outside your home. (https://forgejo.org)

• Codeberg - runs Forgejo under the hood - now you can share with people - but you really ought to donate to them if you use their service. (https://codeberg.org)

• PikaPods - will host a Gitea instance for you in their cloud - you can share code this way too - costs about $2 USD per month and is dead simple to set up. (https://www.pikapods.com/apps)

• VPS - go set up your own virtual private server (on a free Oracle server, or other various hosts out there) and install Forgejo on that - more complicated, hope you like securing servers - share as you like. Free or maybe $$$.

Have fun!

I selfhost gitea. That, plus Tailscale, has been really good.
