..but this will realistically just spawn some new mirrors and proxies because the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won't ever move away.
Anyway, I am doing my part! (With my irrelevant profile)
I wonder why people favor codeberg so much over things like gitlab. It has an ugly UI from ancient GitHub…
Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that's why.
Codeberg is a free/nonprofit hosted instance of Forgeo. Forgeo is a fork of Gitea created by Codeberg about a year ago when the governance of Gitea changed suddenly.
You can selfhost either Forgeo or Gitea.
There are other hosted instances of forgeo and gitea also available.
Gitlab is a hosted instance if gitlab.
You can also self host gitlab.
I assume there are other hosted instances of gitlab tho i cant think of any off the top of my head.
Is there a reason I shouldn't use gitea locally?
Uh well idk you personally so hard to say.
For me i like the remotely hosted ones.
Lots of other people run gitea locally.
What's the point of a local git server? If you're after that why not just use a regular Git repo?
Easier ci/cd integration and viewing diffs from my phone on the toilet. Nothing I can't do with regular git, it would just take more effort.
