Definitely codeberg.org

Where is a good place to move? Preferably in Europe and non-profit.

Codeberg

Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.

There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!

[–] un1970ix@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just a small note: Forgejo is the software, while Codeberg is both the umbrella organization developing Forgejo and a large public instance of it at codeberg.org.

Oh thanks, I've learned something thanks to you. I knew there was a link between the two but didn't know what.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Thank you

I have my own gitea server and very happy with it!

I’ve been slowly working on a set of decoupled services that could replace some aspects of GitHub.

https://pr.pico.sh/ — a pastebin supercharged for git collaboration.

https://pgit.pico.sh/ — static site generator for git repos.

Both are still WIP but I think they are pretty handy

If you’ve never tried GitHub alternatives, you’ll be surprised by how good they are (I definitely was). Many of them match the feature set of GitHub and some even surpass it.

Do you have some comparison documentation or benchmark to share comparing for example GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut and Codeberg?

I did not succeed in finding something comparing these forges about: -CI/CD

runners
issues
project management
wiki
releases management
third-party tools

I am used to GirHub and GitLab but not Codebeg 🤔

I'm not sure what you mean with project management and third party tools, but everything else is covered in forgejo (which powers Codeberg).

Personally, I use OneDev and it definitely has

CI/CD
runners
issues
project management
releases management (packages)

I'm not sure about wikis or third-party plugins.

I just use GitLab.com and mirror relevant repos to GitHub for job and portfolio purposes.

Last time I checked, GitLab wasn't GDPR compliant. CodeBerg is better - and even better is to use many small sites or even self-host stuff.

This will be overcome some day, but the black hole destroying international cooperation that has appeared in the US will keep us busy for some years - and it is important to harden projects as well as communities against it.

[–] wildsir@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I might consider CodeBerg but why use many small sites?

[–] HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Decentralization.

[–] wildsir@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I don’t think it’s necessary to go that far to just host my code. Also seems like a terrible idea, I wouldn’t rely on a random small website to host my project I’ve been working on for the past 4 months
