Go ahead. We've been self-hosting Gitea with Drone/Woodpecker for years; either it or Forgejo will do fine if you're okay with their feature set. I sometimes wander into these GitHub threads to have a laugh; our Gitea instance has had several minutes of downtime combined over the last few years, all of them planned (to upgrade Gitea) and in the middle of the night.

Ooh, Woodpecker CI works with Gitea and Forgejo. https://woodpecker-ci.org/ That might be last piece I needed to migrating Git repos from GitHub to a self-hosted forge.

Edit: Actually there's Gitea Actions and Forgejo Actions, that might be enough for my use case.

https://forgejo.org/docs/next/user/actions/reference/

I’ve found gitea actions (based on ACT, so it’s nearly identical to a GitHub action runner) to work great. Migrating a GitHub workflow is mostly just a file name change.
Good to know!
Gitea Upgrading.. replacing binary, restarting. I love it.

Same for Forgejo.

I struggled with Woodpecker for a bit, but now gitea has Actions that work wonderfully for my use case (and one less tool to support). I believe they also highlight compatibility with a github action protocol of sorts. Might be worth looking into.
