I love Forgejo. I recently started a project to exit my business (and eventually personal) git from Github. Gitea was my target having ruled out GitLab based on prior experience administering an instance, but I ended up going with a Forgejo and I am glad I did. The Gitea shenanigans around the for-profit entity and its opaque ownership structure were mainly what left a bad taste in my mouth, but there were a few other more minor factors that were use case specific. Fedora recently decided to switch to Forgejo, which is quite a feather in their cap.

I also was somewhat skeptical that a git hosting platform that had a business behind it with enterprise oriented offerings wasn’t yet self-hosting in the technical sense.
