I've heard the main two suggestions are Codeberg and Gitlab. However, there has been some mixed feelings about GitLab I've seen across the internet in regards to them being as FOSS as Bitwarden is with their "Open-Core" model. With Codeberg though, there was a recent major security issue.

I would just be curious to get other people's thoughts throughout the community, and then I can decide where I want to migrate my repos.

Codeberg is pretty legit

[–] adamnejm@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

I've been using Codeberg for a while now, however their servers are not always up to par. I've been in situations where it takes forever to load content of the code base via their website, pushing to a repo was also really slow, upwards of 30 seconds.

I know they've been DDOS'd a while back, but this was about a week ago and lasted for few days.

Hosted by someone else: Codeberg or Sourcehut.

Self-hosted: Forgejo

To be honest, I'm waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

I believe forgejo is getting there, but it's still not possible.

I'm also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don't see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago

Codeberg or any forgejo self hosted git instances.

If you don't need the cicd stuff, Forjejo instances are really easy to spin up or use the ones online like codeberg.

[–] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 17 points 5 days ago

Any software potentially has security issues. The matter is how they deal with it.

I will be original. Radicle: A decentralized alternative to GitHub built on Gossip

The builds are prepared for Linux and macOS. Additionally, the desktop client, web interface and console interface are being developed.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Ironic that the desktop client is hosted on GitHub lol

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you know how access rights management work on radicle?

Last time I checked I could just add commits to any open PR...

Luckily, the main repo is different, having a canonical version.

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

I really like radicle though.

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I host forgejo for myself.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hmm.... How do you find it? If you do not mind me asking.

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

https://forgejo.org/

I have it running on a raspberry pi at home behind a reverse proxy on my router and backed up to rsync.net. But hosting it on a cheap VPS might be easier.

sr.ht is pretty good if you don't care about a web GUI

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

I use sourcehut, specifically because I like their web gui!

[–] SteleTrovilo@beehaw.org 10 points 5 days ago

I like Fossil-SCM, so https://chiselapp.com is good for that. But if you want to stick to Git, Forgejo is the best open-source offering (and Codeberg is the most prominent instance). If you want to tread far off of the beaten path, https://hub.darcs.net might meet your needs.

We'll all benefit once the forgefed project is done, and Forgejo/Gitea/Gitlab can all interact with each other.

[–] pylapp@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago

Whatever the solution behind is, if you have the resources, move to something self-hosted. Open core or not, if that topic matters to you, you might need something you can own and control. BTW, have a look on Forgejo, Codeberg and Gitea: these are the solutions I see when people look for something FLOSS, not open core, and maybe self-hostable.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 5 points 5 days ago

For self hosting?

[–] Quail4789@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I use GitLab because it's at least better than GitHub and lets you garbage collect your repos.

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that's not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different "classes" of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren't renewing... Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!
