Git repository storage/forge recommendations? - eviltoast

Looking into possibly replacing my GitLab instance, as I find it bloated and heavy on both hardware and maintenance compared to alternatives.

Currently I’m looking at:

  • GitTea
  • Forgejo, as GitTea turned into a for-profit, otherwise that would be the clear choice
  • OneDev

So I’m wondering what the people on here use, and if they have any other suggestions or opinions?

    I’m using Gitea. I did try OneDev and it is very nice, but mainly intended for single-team usage as it doesn’t use different namespaces for user projects. It’s also very much its own thing, with its own CI/CD for example. Gitea can integrate with other projects much better, like using Woodpecker for CI/CD or logging in with GitHub/GitLab using Oauth.

    I did follow the drama around Gitea/Forgejo, but for now the Gitea company hasn’t done anything wrong, there’s no feature difference (Forgejo aims to be a soft-fork for the moment) and Forgejo had a bit of drama around the lead developer ~1 month after it was founded.
