Or Forgejo, which is a fork of Gitea and is what Codeberg uses. They explain their advantages over Gitea here: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

Oh dang I didn't realize! Thank you!! I was just starting to look at those things myself and wanted to also avoid GH. Plus Gitea was available on Yunohost too. I've heard of Codeberg, I'll see if I can host that instead. It's too bad other companies don't move away from GH...
