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.

Just like everyone else, I'll also recommend forgejo. But be prepared to handle bot traffic if you self-host it. My instance was hit almost constantly until I added strict rate limits, and made most of the stuff private. For a portfolio, I think Codeberg (or GitHub, that's where everyone looks for stuff) is better that self-hosting. But it can be good to keep a private instance for mirrors.

I permits the access of my self hosted services via a cloudflare tunnel, do you think it is enough by default to handle the bots? Also I don't particularly want that people can find my portfolio just like that without a direct link from my LinkedIn or my resume so even if I use Codeberg I will not let it fully public.

Cloudflare may be enough, but you can also look at stuff like Anubis.

Definitely more than enough. You don’t get better bot fighting than that.
