I’ve been considering moving away from gitlab for a long time, but so far, as far as I know, it’s still the only service that supports ephemeral self hosted runners. with gitlab it can utilize docker-machine to spin up vps on demand and ensure only a single job runs on each vps before it gets destroyed again.
Comment on Forgejo v10.0 is available [git]
jalict@mastodon.gamedev.place 2 weeks ago@Krafting @poVoq I switched from GitLab to Gitea to Forgejo.
Very happy with the transition. Gitlab is much bigger than it needs to be. Forgejo is much simpler and VERY easy to setup. Literally ~5 mins in docker.
With that said, I am solo, so got very little requirements. I don't know how it works for many users and collaboration.

gogs.io/docs user here. I don’t remember why. It works.

Gogs is what became Gitea, is what became Forgejo. The fork history is a bit complicated.
But if Gogs works for you, no need to change.

I just run into a problem of Gogs not working well in Podman containers. I looked at Forgejo and it appears to have rootful and rootless setup configurations in docker. Gogs run well for me as a native Arch Linux service, but not so well under containers.
