Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn’t returned to follow community rules.

Here’s the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

    People who don’t like codeberg can just go somewhere else (even back to github) and/or found/support an alternative that better suits their needs.

    https://gitgud.io/ provides free GitLab hosting for open source projects.

    https://gitlab.com/ has a free tier for personal/open source stuff, though looks like it has a 5 user limit on said free tier.

    Gitea can be self-hosted. It doesn’t look like they provide free hosting themselves, though, just paid. Apparently it’s considerably less resource-intensive to host than GitLab.

    GNU Savannah is available if one is writing projects under a specific set of licenses (the GPL family).

      I use Forgejo which is either forked from or built on Gitea

      Super easy to set up it was a docker container and a cloudflared tunnel.

        How do you back up your git repos? Do you do that automatically through Forgejo or do you count on other members having the git repo updated?

        Sorry for the off tangent question!
