Yeees! So much different repos i want to be able to commit and report to ...

This is my prerequisite for switching from GitHub to Codeberg

Donations will help them get there faster

I tried to setup Forgejo CI but was turned off by the need to have nodejs installed to do anything, even cloning the repository. Does everyone just maintain their own images?

Gitlab CI by comparison will let me you any image (e.g. basic rustc imagé) and do the orchestration by itself. So much nicer to use imo

They do, it's just a lot of work.

Here's an example PR: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/10380

Federation is worked on by forgefed if I remember right.

https://codeberg.org/ForgeFed/ForgeFed

It's noted in the release notes that they release a new major version every 3 months.

v11 goes eol in 2 months

I genuinely don't understand your reasoning

That is getting pretty far behind unless you're leaving yourself open to go back to Gitea. I think 12 was the hard fork.

Forgejo is where the dev is happening now.

Gitea is developed by a corporation. If you trust corporations not to enshittify eventually, maybe Gitea will be the exception to the rule, but I doubt it, for sufficiently long definitions of "eventually". Forgejo was forked specifically because the governance needed to be detached from the corporation, and that wasn't going to happen with Gitea. The community of open-source developers mostly voted with their feet. Forgejo is, in my humble opinion, going places. Gitea is not. Nothing specifically wrong with it, per se, but it doesn't really offer a sustainable development path forward I don't think.

It’s a fork of Gitea with more extensive development.

Forked from gitea. The owners of the project implemented a change to the pr system where by you had the sign an agreement that the code belonged to them. This was seen as an intent to relisense at some point. Devs that wanted it to stay open moved to forgejo.

Until recently you could swap forgejo in to your gitea data, but now they are incompatible due to divergence.

I didn't notice a difference. Maybe if you start new then go forgejo but existing gitea I see no reason to move.

Because you usually don't want to do automatic upgrades across major versions. There is a "latest" equivalent for each major version release though.

It might be OK now, but for a while there before they hard forked, you set yourself up for issues if you updated majors without being aware of breaking changes.

Forgejo was initially a soft fork of Gitea but they knew it would very possibly become a hard fork. Using the latest tag meant your setup could break unexpectedly so I think they’d opted to not use it at all. What you want to do is use the full version “15” in this case which will keep it updated up the currently major release.

Basically self hosted Github without microslop's bs

It's the software that runs codeberg

Self hosted git server (github alt)

Locally hosted git server (fork of Gitea)

Tangled seems to focus on the “social” aspect by being inherently federated using the protocol Bluesky uses.

Federation is in the works for Forgejo but it’s not a focus.

Recommendation would be that you want to set up your ssh so that it only accepts publickey authentication. You also want to make sure you are not using a proxied DNS value, as CF only proxies http requests.

Personally I didn't bother to setup ssh access as https typically works fine.
