I've heard the main two suggestions are Codeberg and Gitlab. However, there has been some mixed feelings about GitLab I've seen across the internet in regards to them being as FOSS as Bitwarden is with their "Open-Core" model. With Codeberg though, there was a recent major security issue.

I would just be curious to get other people's thoughts throughout the community, and then I can decide where I want to migrate my repos.

To be honest, I'm waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

I believe forgejo is getting there, but it's still not possible.

Any software potentially has security issues. The matter is how they deal with it.

I like Fossil-SCM, so https://chiselapp.com is good for that. But if you want to stick to Git, Forgejo is the best open-source offering (and Codeberg is the most prominent instance). If you want to tread far off of the beaten path, https://hub.darcs.net might meet your needs.

We'll all benefit once the forgefed project is done, and Forgejo/Gitea/Gitlab can all interact with each other.

Hosted by someone else: Codeberg or Sourcehut.

Self-hosted: Forgejo

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

Codeberg or any forgejo self hosted git instances.

I will be original. Radicle: A decentralized alternative to GitHub built on Gossip

The builds are prepared for Linux and macOS. Additionally, the desktop client, web interface and console interface are being developed.

Do you know how access rights management work on radicle?

Last time I checked I could just add commits to any open PR...

Luckily, the main repo is different, having a canonical version.

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I really like radicle though.

Whatever the solution behind is, if you have the resources, move to something self-hosted. Open core or not, if that topic matters to you, you might need something you can own and control. BTW, have a look on Forgejo, Codeberg and Gitea: these are the solutions I see when people look for something FLOSS, not open core, and maybe self-hostable.

For self hosting?
