Post #1501228

2026-04-21 14:23 UTC

The #gitea developers concluded after 10 years that it is not able to host its own development and that they depend on #GitHub. https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029#issuecomment-4269181192 At the same time, the community fork @forgejo@floss.social is self-hosted for a long time and is also powering the popular @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de and at least 8 other public instances. So this seem to be a good time to migrate if you haven't already. https://forgejo.org

    @davidak @forgejo @Codeberg although not nearly as good a time as two years ago would have been, back when the database schema were still compatible. Oh well ...

    @davidak @forgejo @Codeberg It's good for any project to be well-known for something. Even if it's being the most embarassing example for not eating your own dogfood, I guess.

    @davidak @forgejo “we can’t use Gitea because no AI. Also our server keeps going down from the AI crawlers” bruh

    @davidak @forgejo @Codeberg "The gap between GitHub and Gitea is larger and larger (including various AI powers). ... Another challenge is the server stability ... due to AI crawlers" interesting.

  • @davidak I would swap gitea for @forgejo right now if there was a documented way to migrate that is not ever user has to move every repo on its own.

    @davidak @forgejo We're using gitea at work. I didn't know about forgejo back when I picked it. Do you know if there is a way to import gitea's database of issues and pull requests into forgejo? (If this is something I can easily look up myself, please let me know.)

    @davidak @forgejo @Codeberg disingenuous. They want some Github-specific features and to not have to deal with hosting infrastructure because they're developers not sysadmins/network engineers. meanwhile Codeberg has had several DDoS/AI-crawler related outages. 4 months ago they were only hitting a 90% uptime... so I guess they're comparable to Github in that respect but also it's hard to take their hosting infra seriously when they do stupid stuff like make their status page a subdomain of codeberg.org. This is a big nono, you always host your status page on a completely separate domain and ideally on a different Autonomous System

    @davidak @forgejo @Codeberg if that's not a *"#ConditionlessSurrender" to one's own incompetence then IDK what is. #gitea could've easily just kept #GitHub as a slave repo to abuse them for free #hosting…
