Codeberg, self-hosting Gitea, or something else? (lemmy.world)

It seems that GitHub is being blocked in my region as well as other options from U.S. based companies (e.g. GitLab)

Where should I migrate my repos? Codeberg is an option as it’s Europe based so isn’t blocked in my region. Codeberg Pages is also nice to have. However, Codeberg seems to push for excluding proprietary software dependencies, which might limit the kinds of projects I can do.

Another option is to self-host Gitea, I could use my old laptop for that. Gitea doesn’t have a GitHub pages, but there seems to be third-party plugins that allow that. The downside with self-hosting (for me) is that it means I’m unable to collaborate with others (since it’ll be local) and I can’t easily share my projects. It will also probably be harder to set up.

What other options are there, or are these two the best options for me?

edit: decided on Codeberg, how do I make my static pages to work with Codeberg Pages? I've switched to a "pages" branch and the website doesn't work (https://username.codeberg.page/repo-name/)

How do I make static pages work with Codeberg???

Not sure if its better, did both and i havent noticed much difference. Forgejo runs codeberg though and is maintained by them. Also has CI with forgejo actions.

And Gitea has Gitea Actions. The big difference - and also the sole reason ForgeJo was forked - is that Gitea has a business behind it that allows them to sell support hours to other businesses. And then use the money to progress Gitea. Similar to how Zabbix and others do it. But the community decided that this is a bad thing and moved to ForgeJo.

gittea ltd was founded without adhering to the governance model gittea had and also claimed copyright on atleast the name and logo of gittea. many felt a non-profit would be a better way to organize development and thats how codeberg e.v. came to be.

the problem is not, and never was offering support and service against money, you can right now start selling forgejo if you'd desire to, it was allways about how the project itself should be organized.

While a non-profit sounds very honourable, I personally think Gitea has the more future-proof model. In fact, Gitea Actions was something they got commissioned for and were allowed to open source it as well.

This is basically how I think about it. (Not my comment.)

But we’ll see…
