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?

What do you mean by “gitea turned into a for profit”?

I really like gitea, set it up at my last job and it was easy to work with and used very little resources.

You can read their blogpost about it here: https://blog.gitea.com/a-message-from-lunny-on-gitea-ltd.-and-the-gitea-project/

It resulted in Codeberg launching their own fork: https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html

https://lemmy.world/comment/1377774 - it’s FUD. Forgejo is also backed by a company, by the way [1]
