I believe there is a mistake in this article Gitlab is different from Gitea. Gitea is a fork of GOGS, but Gitlab is a very different infrastructure (far slower).

Codeberg.org used Gitea and worked on it, before forking Forgejo.

Maybe there is a relationship between runners, as they are all wrote in Go both on Gitlab and Gogs/Gitea/Forgejo, but no evidence about it.

You are welcome, I hope to use your BL808 setups to develop on it too :). P.S. I updated the post to show the risc-v image available, Forgejo is really easy to deploy on Arch Linux (the only one adapted distribution in fact), there is still no RISC-V Arch Linux or Busybox LXC template in default repository, also something todo some research on. Maybe a nuttx RISX-V template would be a good thing :)

I also installed several private instances of #Forgejo, including one for my own needs, looks promising, but at current time, their runner (needed for CI/CD), that I still need to setup, is marked as "alpha release, should not be considered secure enough to deploy in production". For information and found some other interesting related documentation, Forgejo is a fork by Codeberg.org of #Gitea that is itself a fork of #GOGS.

Already installed some #Gilab instances+runners, some Gitea/Forgejo servers without runners, need to learn its whole setup (runners+act+) and how to make test recipes, only tried some made by other ones on opensource project. Learnt and tested the basis of LXC deployment/management last week on #ArchLinux. Still few problems about IPv4 assignment in cross-architecture deployment (maybe a LXC-net bug?), IPv6 and lxc-attach for direct,local connexion to container works fine. #LXC would be far lighter than docker for tests.

LXC already has some #RISCV and #ARM pre-made templates image in default repository that works well in x86_64 server environment, that's probably not a big work to create and add new "templates". Forgejo can support LXC containers.
