I can vouch for Forgejo
https://forgejo.org/
Easy to set up, has a website GUI like Github/GitLab you can use git GUIs with it
https://codeberg.org runs on Forgejo
Forgejo is leading the federated git initiative
Just to give credit where credit is due, git federation is a Forgefed Initiative
Forgejo is implementing it in their platform.
Sure, they are the same people
Any evidence of that? Genuinely curious as I can't really find anything about them being by the same people and forgefed started as mailed-based prior to forgejo existing.
edit: seems like they are funded by different organizations and the main contributors to forgefed never worked on forgejo, they worked on vervis though.
I believe it was this issue that made me think this way
Thank you! That would be my go to for my own projects as well. As far as I know they don't want company sponsorship. I am unsure about sustainability
In what regard?
That the project will be developed in a year or two
Maybe check how long it is already going, so it can give you some confidence. Forgejo is a fork of gitea, which is a fork of gogs.
Also, codeberg, a nonprofit from Germany, is supporting development.

I’ve been looking at gitea because of its gitops capabilities that seem to be pretty much on par with github actions. Do you know if forgejo has something similar? There seems to be a lack of documentation in that area. This has been my only reason for not moving to forgejo but im hoping im wrong and just missed some documentation.
EDIT: Thank you all who provided some additional insights that I was missing. I'll take the leap and give forgejo a try!
There are forejo runners and they seem compatible with a bunch of github actions. I created one that builds a docker image and publishes it on the repo.
Forgejo actions is basically GitHub actions. The difference in my ci scripts is a single line and you can even use GitHub action templates or whatever they're called.
You just need to add some runners to your server, which is pretty easily doable by just using some docker container and deploying that multiple times
That's the problem. GH actions su-huck.
In what way? Works for me
Forgejo is a fork of gitea, and it only became a hard fork earlier this year, so if gitea does something, forgejo probably does it as well.
