I'm done. Moving to Forgejo. It's wonderful and everything works better.

Seriously like everything is instant when you click around, and CI with a runner works beautifully. (The documentation for setting up the runner could be a tad clearer but otherwise everything was so painless.)

Self-hosted, or are you using something managed? I’ve held off switching from Gitlab for now as everything is setup and runs ok, but they’re pushing their AI hard into every corner. Not a lot of good managed options around (yet), especially in Europe. Codey (https://www.codey.ch/) is pretty expensive and doesn’t offer runners out of the box.

Self-hosted. It runs great on a tiny VPS with other services. But I did have to get a cheaper Hetzner server (5 Euros-ish for 4GB RAM) to run the runner.

Forgejo feels like a refreshing blast from the past. No intrusive AI cramming. The Web Interface is snappy and responsive, not waiting for constant loaders and spinners. It takes almost no resources to run.

It's a fork of Gitea. I am very happy with it.
