No. Self host and use Forgejo
Codeberg is great for your open projects, but not for everything.

MODERATORS
do lemmy devs have plans to move their repo away from github?
I haven’t seen any issues that suggest Codeberg migration for the Lemmy and Jerboa repos.
I agree. And Forgejo (the software that powers Codeberg) is getting federation with the ActivityPub protocol (which made the Fediverse possible) in the future.
How do we pronounce Forgejo? The english J, the German J, or the Spanish J? (Or is there a 4th option?)
It's based on Esperanto, I think German j would be the closest? Audio sample in their FAQ is like for-jay-yo to my ear, they give /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ as a pronunciation
I think German j would be the closest
Yeah, German J is /j/.
This has been posted many times (which is ok! Always a good idea to spread awareness!) so I will repeat a thing everyone should know just in case it's not known:
I love codeberg, but note that codeberg specifically states they don't tolerate non-FOSS repos.
You can have a private repo with the goal of opening it, but proprietary code is not welcome.
Our mission is to support the creation and development of Free Software; therefore we only allow repos licensed under an OSI/FSF-approved license. For more details see Licensing article. However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren't perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness of the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues.
Edit: wording
I know this is buy European, but for people who are more interested in buy non-American and less specifically only European, Bitbucket is owned by Australian company Atlassian, and free accounts get unlimited private repos, and relatively reasonable pricing for small teams.
It's a bit less geared towards open source than GitHub or gitlab, but that is available too. I'm not sure how it works.
Yeah! Fuck small businesses, conglomerates only!
Whoops Atlassian has 4 offices in the US including SF and NY
Everybody has offices in the US, by that standard you will not buy anything anymore.
Thanks. I have removed my gitlab and github accounts. If I need something in future, I'll use Codeberg.
I wish it remained a Ukrainian unicorn company
????
Gitlab sucks anyway. From 2018 to now, the install process somehow got harder and the system requirements got more greedy.
Forgejo FTW.
What's a good self hosted lightweight git instance? Can you use git with forgejo?
Yes it’s a fork of gitea
Linus Torvalds is Finnish but he lives in the US. Does that mean we can’t use Linux or Git?
As long as its free and open source its fine in my opinion
Not just open, but also always reproducible built. So you can know the source is for the actual binary.
