Gitea is hosted on Github, ignored issue since 7 years

Wow that's a really long time. 7! works out to 5040 but 7!! is a stupidly huge number.

They are not the only ones. I've seen a few other alternative forges that haven't bothered dogfooding. It immediately lowers the trust in them. Does their shit really work if they have to host it on github?

It doesn't really surprise me that a self hosted project cant afford to self host it's own self or be able to find a neutral hosting location.

I dont know how much it costs to host such a server, 10€ per month?

I mean if you dont even use your software for real work i.e. a big project, how do you test it?

The irony isn't lost on me but the comments show it wasn't that simple. If it was they surely would have done it.

At least Forgojo is hosted on Codeberg. Actually I believe that Forgejo is a Codeberg project.

Yes, Gitea is a fork of Gog, and Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Gitea messed up their finance stuff, has a for profit company and did a lot of shady swaps without transparency.

Forgejo is sponsored by the nonprofit Codeberg [something] and is hosted on Codeberg.

Ah yes that's it. Forgejo has been great on my server.

TLDR: "lets make github. Wait, we can't afford that"
