Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I’ve heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn’t run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.


I’d say Forgejo as it is the most simple of the three. If you want more complexity (like CI/CD), then one of the other two. You can checkout Forgejo at codeberg.org.
CI/CD works fine for selfhosted forgejo, I set mine up with minimal hassle.
Is the CI/CD still a faithful clone of github’s worst-in-show setup? Because if I had a plan for ditching GL, the CI keeps forgejo from being a contender.
Sure, but it’s not part of Forgejo, is it?
Thanks for you reply, I did not know what CI/CD mean so just checked it, it’s not important for me because I want to display only finished project. Forgejo looks great and I just found it’s available as a TrueNas app which is great for me.
I’ve been running forgejo (and forgejo-runner for workflows) on TrueNAS for a little while now, without any issues really.
The runner image is also available as a TrueNAS app, so if you ever do want CI/CD it’s pretty simple to set up.
