just dropped a new post 🍵
went full nerd mode on self-hosting git — starting from bare repos & SSH, through gitolite, all the way to a full gitea install on alpine linux 🏔️
also roasted gitlab (lovingly), compared gitea vs forgejo vs gogs vs the whole gang
spoiler: gitea won. it's written in go. you already know.

@devsimsek forgejo works great for me. One command and it was functional. Builds on gitea, so I don't know why it should not be as good as gitea Also: "Oops! That page can’t be found."

@devsimsek Sounds super interesting. Unfortunately, the link seems broken?

@devsimsek #forgejo is not soft fork of gitea any more and is hard fork from 2024. It does have forgejo action (though not 100% compatible with GitHub AFAIK).
