That's all good until you discover that Forgejo is very barebones compared to GitLab, and you inevitably end up recreating GitLab featureset by using some scripts/addons from random people and pray it doesn't shit itself

Isn't it better to invest your time in setting up GitLab once and not have to deal with Forgejo being a toy project?

It literally takes 1 compose.yaml to self-host GitLab Omnibus, and 1 compose.yaml for the runner. You have been misled by suckless fans if you think that self-hosting GitLab is more complex than Forgejo.

It requires what, 8GB of RAM? That's not "oodles" by any definition.

If I ever need anything more advanced than what Forgejo is offering me, I'd reach for Gitlab, for sure. :-)
