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.

    We should also keep in mind that Gitea was hostilely taken away from the community by a for-profit corporation that made Gitea open-core by hiding a way features behind a paywall in a cloud.

      FUD

      Gitea is still MIT licensed and the Enterprise tier features only cater to large org needs [1]. Why would I want to deal with nightmarish SAML config when OIDC does a better job

      Forgejo was forked because the maintainers were butthurt they didn’t have more say in the development roadmap and their large PRs didn’t get reviewed and merged fast enough. Which is a valid reason to fork

        FACT

        The corporation basically stole the project from the community and started hiding features behind a paywall.

        It is completely irrelevant if you need the features that are closed and behind a paywall and are not part of the open core.
