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.

If it's for recruiters, put it on github. That's the one they are most probably familiar with and you want to minimize barriers to access.

    Also seo, I've sadly seen 4 year abandoned random forks rank as the first result and the actual project way below, just because it was on a self-hosted git. iirc that was the freedesktop one, so definitely not small, new, or low volume either.

    If a corporate recruiter or technical recruiter can't navigate a git forge that is not GitHub that is their failing not your problem to fix.

    yeah but they won't fix it. They'll make a note that this candidate is difficult to work with and look for another.

    Then you know the kind of environment the company fosters and do you want to work for an org that doesn't have the decency to look at their applicants?

    That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for

    Most people going for junior/entry level roles don't have that luxury
