IME it's way easier to self-host

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 51 points 1 year ago (12 children)

From my personal experience running GitLab and Forgejo (Gitea Drop-In replacement/Fork):

  • Gitea/Forgejo is easier to get running
  • UI is less bloated/faster
  • GitLab redesigned their UI and imo it's shit now
  • No features locked behind a "Pro" Version (Pull or Bidirectional mirrors are for example unavailable on GitLab self-hosted unless you shell out for premium)
  • Gitea Actions is a lot more intuitive than GitLab CI, this is likely personal preference but it's still an important factor

Gitlab used to be cute, small, and innovative (as in open). But now it's too bloated. Gitlab CI is not well designed and half-baked.

Hey now! Gitlab ci is totally fine so long as your simply running your build.sh file out of it. Anything more and your risking madness.
