Most of us switched from #Github to #GitLab. With GitLab showing slowly its colors, it's time for another switch.

gitea.com or @codeberg ?

@mmarif

GitLab is open source, why not just remove bits you dont like?

GitLab is heavy compare to Gitea. I would self host Gitea than GitLab.

I used GitLab EE self hosted for my previous company and right now one thing I can say is it's not affordable for single or few person use.

@mmarif

We have a gitlab instance here. It is heavy its true, but ours runs completely in a self-contained container. A desktop PC could easily handle GitLab. It doesnt really take much. Ours is running on a single server with 10 other services and it is very responsive.

Moreover gitea is lighter but at the cost of having almost none of the features side from the basics. I know for me, even for personal projects, that wouldnt do the trick.

@freemo @codeberg

Not sure about your use case. But I remember it was eating around 8GB ram constantly with around 15 users using.

Also another factor is can afford or not. Right now tbh I cannot(atleast GitLab).

I am using gitea.com for GitNex(moved from GitLab) and I did not feel I am missing anything except the CI part which drone provide anyway. Thanks to gitea guys they allowed us to use their drone server. ๐Ÿ˜€

Wow, that's great.

Are you guys a team or you alone manage all this?

@mmarif

I'm the founder, but we are a team, I have other mods, as well as donators (though I donate the most through my own companies)
