I contributed to Forgejo for a while (tried to improve the HTTPS setup instructions but was frustrated by a slow/haphazard review process and gave up), so FWIW my impressions: It's a project that it constrained by developer time, which has consequences: * Not all parts of the code have a maintainer. This is partly due to the fact that Forgejo is a fork of a fork. * The CVE track record shows that they do care (and that they do have a working CVE process), but also that they did have two remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in the past three years and needed roughly a month to fix each one. Sadlys, I don't know an alternative that I can recommend. I did a quick search and dug up some web sites with promising leads, but I can't do the heavy lifting and evaluate them, so I'm just listing my results in case anybody can follow up on these: https://www.stackhero.io/en-US/#services Open source managed services, preinstalled, on a VServer. GitLab would be the code collaboration tool, but they do offer more services, many of which could serve any open-source project with server needs. They do cost money. https://www.wearedevelopers.com/en/magazine/298/top-github-alternatives There are too many useless Top Ten Alternatives lists on the web, but this one is actually useful and has interesting entries. My take on each: GitLab is good but requires a big server and administration. BitBucket - yeah, Atlassian products give you everything you need but are a pain to use. OneDev - no idea. Having CI/CD and Kanban sounds useful. Gog - tried it once, the setup was a bit too painful and I went to Forgejo. YMMV. Codeberg - that's Forgejo plus community and issue tracking. Not sure how much beyond Forgejo there is. Radicle - peer-to-peer collaboration based on git. That means the development workflow does not require a hosting provider anymore, which I find intriguing, but YMMV. Gitea - Forgejo was forked from there. Prioritizes features over security or reliability. Google Cloud, AWS CodeCommit - I guess these are too commercial for Open-Source collaboration. Launchpad - no idea. I don't like it because I don't like Canonical, but YMMV. Hope this helps somebody. Regards, and back to lurking, Johome | help
