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.

I might say to do both, with one of the two as a mirror

Github is important for recruiters, especially non technical ones that aren't familiar with the alternatives. Since OP has the motivation for it, having a second place might show off that OP understands git beyond Github, or the values OP might share with the employer.
