Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.

Hello, I was thinking of moving all my open source projects here. Anyone have any opinions? Excuse the post if this has been discussed previously, I was unable to find anything directly relating to peoples opinions on using it.

Edit: Lots of great discussion going on here! Thanks to everyone who contributed! I wasn’t sure before but now I am set on moving all my projects over. The fact that it will be federated makes it even more appealing given that github is now requiring phone numbers and other personal information in order to create an account on their site.

    I selfhost a forgejo instance, which is the underlying framework for codeberg (and they maintain forgejo).

    Federation is in the works, they say.

    If i was going to have any projects public, this is where i would do it.

      I also selfhost forgejo and im really happy with it. (I moved from GitLab.) Personally I cant wait for federation (which GitLab is also working on). If it were so be implemented, then ppl could actually contribute so projects on selfhosted git servers, which I am really looking forward so.

        Federation like that sounds perfect, and would definitely help out for the current situation I see where projects are officially on, say, Gitlab but still accept pull requests on GitHub. I’m sure that involves some annoying manual process (although should be less hassle than the code review!)

        I’ve also got a self hosted Forgejo instance. I’m patient and really excited by the future prospects of federation.

        It’ll be really nice to keep my code and tooling entirely within my home while still being able to share and collaborate with others though those federated exchanges of community & code.

      Similar situation, and I follow the Forgejo development. I’ve found the codeberg individuals that I’ve interacted with to be very good at what they do. They give me confidence in the wider platform.
