How bad is GitLab (selfhosted) in this context?
It's developed by an american company.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitLab_Inc.
It's open source, open source is global. Doesn't matter where the main dev is from if it's self hosted.
Global as the team may be, they'll have to follow laws of the country the company's from.
Self-hosted can ameliorate.
Yeah, I just set up Forgejo as base installation, so if GitLab does some bullshit, I can at least easily migrate to it
Personally I think we don't have to be perfect in this. Migrating from the bigger services to self-hosted instances is a win in my book.
There was this famous quote - originally in the context of waste reduction - that got some traction within this movement too:
In this context I personally prefer Gitea. Very lightweight and straight forward to self-host.
Forgejo is a hard fork of gitea that occured after the leadership took private control of the logo and branding, started developing proprietary add-ons, and building a business around it.
Forgejo is developed under Codeberg e.v. which is a German non-profit.
I think it's still a drop-in replacement for gitea.
Thank you so much for that background info! Will migrate my Gitea instance to Forgejo. Was quite fresh anyway, better do it now than later.
Huge parts of the sample config still say "gitea" as parts of names etc.
By what I usually read it's really hard to keep it running since gitlab takes a lot of resources. Go with it if you have the hardware and human resources to maintain it. I used gitlab hosted on premises in a company I worked at some years ago, it was nice, but I was just using it, not the poor infrastructure guy.
I already have one, and apart from some clashes with Arch's usual file hierarchy, it was smooth. But I just noticed that dinkleberg.org is ... was available, and I think it would be worth it to set up a forgejo instance, as a comedic pendant to the official codeberg.org instance, and to see which one works better in the end. But at last, once they fully implement federation, I'll switch fully. Arch has a wiki page and a packaged version ready anyway, and it can use my already set up postgres, so just more of a reason to look into it further.
