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

@SomeAnoTooter I have been using gitea for the past year and I do know forgejo is good enough. I just wanted to stick with what I knew earlier :) also I've stated my reasons on my post as well.

Thanks for the notification though.
