I’d say it depends, I run my own on prem server and gitlab was a PITA. Too many moving parts, updating took too much of my time, and I never felt “safe”.

Moving to gitea solved all of those issues for me (thus far), now I’m looking into adding other stuff like CI through Drone.

Did you consider woodpecker instead of drone? It's basically an evolved fork of the OSS version.

Didn’t even know about it. I’ll check it out.

Thanks!

Curiously, this was also my own experience!

I actually wrote a bit about the migration process, as well as the reasons for migrating over to Gitea, Nexus and Drone CI as opposed to using GitLab, GitLab Registry and GitLab CI: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

With containers, it's actually a pretty good experience that's not too hard to setup or manage.

It definitely depends. We’re pretty early stage and I’m the senior engineer+infrastructure guy so running our own gitea instance or whatever is just more time that I’m almost out of.
