Haven’t heard of Codeberg. What are the top reasons to switch from GitHub?

Does any service offer hosted Forgejo Actions Runners? Or Forgejo compatible CI?

I want to pay for CI on my Codeberg projects, but I've been struggling to find something where I can just pay by the minute. I have projects that benefit from large CI runners but my usage is low enough that it makes no sense to host my own.

The concerning part is commercial. That is why Cloudflare Pages/workers is a better option than GitHub pages or Vercel Pages.

Codeberg vs selfhosted Gitlab. What do you think?

I think the question is rather gitlab.com vs. self-hosted GitLab and Codeberg vs. self-hosted Forgejo.

For what its worth, it's pretty easy to maintain a low traffic Gitlab instance.

How do other people open pull/merge requests for your projects?

Honest question: do you want them to? Most of us aren't running high-profile OSS projects, and drive-by PRs are a pretty widespread complaint about GitHub's model of opensource

Just push to that instance, or, as Linus intended, send patches via e-mail.

They make an account or you give them one?

> The by far nastiest part is CI.

But that's the most important part. A repository without CI is basically dead.

The biggest challenge of this era is automated verification, and proper CI infrastructure is essential.

GitHub feels like what Hudson/Jenkins was some decades ago. Horrible, but the only one that did what it did.

I run probably hundreds of dollars of CI on GitHub per month. Except I don't pay a cent for it (all open source public repos). I can't just let that go, those workers do real work.

I wish they had a paid plan for private repositories that aren't FOSS.

I recently ran across codefloe[1] recently in another thread[2], and have been considering it for private non-floss-related repos... haven't tried it out yet though, so mileage may vary.

I've been using codefloe for everything personal, and I couldn't be happier. It's been stable, snappy, and offers me everything I need. I don't miss GitHub a single bit

Thanks for the positive anecdote. That gives me more motivation to finally try it out.

The problem is paas platforms and other platforms don't really support codeberg or any other alternatives.

Can I link a codeberg repo to Railway for example?

Codeberg is great, but I really miss Octobox.

I can't imagine using GitHub without Octobox; it's just impossible to keep track of all the notifications by email.

Unfortunately, Octobox doesn't support GitHub, so I've no idea how to follow projects, even the ones I really want to contribute to.
