I've been deploying Gitea (or Forgejo, still can't decide), but I've fallen into the Ansible rabbit hole and can't get out. Also learned Terraform in the last week and I'm still on the fence about using it in my homelab. It's nice for the cloud but I don't think it's as useful on-prem.
Forgejo has everything Gitea has, with more and being more open
Yeah, I evaluated my position since and now I'm trying to deploy Forgejo, but I'm still stuck in the IaC rabbit hole and can't crawl out
My concern when it forked was that forgejo would last a few months and then fizzle out.
That doesn't seem to be the case.
