How bad is GitLab (selfhosted) in this context?
It’s developed by an american company.
It’s open source, open source is global. Doesn’t matter where the main dev is from if it’s self hosted.
Global as the team may be, they’ll have to follow laws of the country the company’s from.
Self-hosted can ameliorate.Yeah, I just set up Forgejo as base installation, so if GitLab does some bullshit, I can at least easily migrate to it

Forgejo is a hard fork of gitea that occured after the leadership took private control of the logo and branding, started developing proprietary add-ons, and building a business around it.
Forgejo is developed under Codeberg e.v. which is a German non-profit.
I think it’s still a drop-in replacement for gitea.

Huge parts of the sample config still say “gitea” as parts of names etc.
By what I usually read it’s really hard to keep it running since gitlab takes a lot of resources. Go with it if you have the hardware and human resources to maintain it. I used gitlab hosted on premises in a company I worked at some years ago, it was nice, but I was just using it, not the poor infrastructure guy.
I already have one, and apart from some clashes with Arch’s usual file hierarchy, it was smooth. But I just noticed that dinkleberg.org is … was available, and I think it would be worth it to set up a forgejo instance, as a comedic pendant to the official codeberg.org instance, and to see which one works better in the end. But at last, once they fully implement federation, I’ll switch fully. Arch has a wiki page and a packaged version ready anyway, and it can use my already set up postgres, so just more of a reason to look into it further.

What is disroot.org?
Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
They offer email and other services
Nice to see a non big corporate alternative.
And they’re set in the Netherlands!
Anyone know of projects getting good traction on codeberg? I reeeeaaally want it to be a success, but github seems to have a bit or a grip on the open source software community which makes anything else have an annoying hurdle for open source projects.
Do you have a good tutorial on how to set up CI/CD on forgejo?
The concentration of open source projects around proprietary services has always bugged me, glad people are making action.
Could someone explain disroot & forgejo for me?
Do they support some kind of CI/CD? Or is there maybe an external free service that can be recommended? It’s pretty much just for building some docker images or compiling a static site.
