My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don't seem welcome.

The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.

I've seen many people use Codeberg recently.

If you are willing to self-host and are scared of the gitea license shake-up, use forgejo.

When it comes to self-hosting, there's also the costs. Hosting providers have been hitting me with price hikes one after another this year, so I'm looking into shutting down some servers instead.

I host it on a raspberry pi with 2 GB RAM for myself. The only challenge with it is because I do hundreds of repo mirrors, basically a local archive of public repos on other code forges that I found useful to have
