Are there initiatives like Codeberg but with a GitLab instance instead? I want to migrate to something that is not gitlab.com but I need to use GitLab CI (with my own runner of course)

@Matter I also considered Codeberg after reflecting more on the fact GitLab isn't truly open source (and certainly not FOSS)

@syntax how so? What proprietary components are there?

@syntax tbh, I really dislike gitlab, it's slow, super slow. But their CI is pretty great and easy to use... and at least you can self-host it

@Matter Certainly better than GitHUb in terms of openness etc.

@Matter I should rephrase that. I meant that GitLab isn't entirely open. It's open for the free tier, but this doesn't include a lot of other features people need. Just recalling what I heard recently on a podcast. To be honest, I'm still in the process of weighing up the options

@Matter @syntax On about.gitlab.com/pricing/self-… you can see what features are in Core compared to the higher tiers, which are the proprietary tiers.

It's enterprise features like auth integration, advanced issues management, project management, CI integration, integration with various package repositories, monitoring ... It's quite a lot, but mostly stuff the typical small-scale software project wouldn't care about.

Still, I prefer to support Gitea or SourceHut.

@clacke @syntax I would like to use Gitea or SourceHut, but we really need GitLab CI for our project... so unless Gitea can launch GitLab CI pipelines, it's no good for me πŸ˜”
