I use Github for many years and want to move all my repos away from it. What is a good alternative, preferably one that is easy to push? Ideally i will be cloning all my repos to hard drive and then just push to whatever service. At first glance, there are many options: Bitbucket, Gitlab, Codeberg, Gitea..etc. I will be self hosting these repos and I prefer longevity, i.e. dont want to wake up one morning to see all repos gone from the site.

Gitea is great for selfhosting. Small footprint, very fast, extremely capable.

I also maintain a couple of Gitlab installations at work, but it's a lot slower and uses more resources. I mean it's good, but it's very much a full fat option.

Bitbucket is very old and, eww, Atlassian - the exact opposite of a selfhost friendly company.
