    There are, but so far the ones I’ve found are not reliable enough for bigger scale stuff. That’s kinda why I mentioned “being ready to pay”. If there would be - let’s say - non-profit foundation hosting something like codeberg with free-tier for FOSS and paid for non-FOSS in Europe I’d switch to it.

    I’m really looking forward to Forgejo implementing federation and am hoping to selfhost someday, but for now codeberg is not really allowing my full repository to be hosted :(

      Thanks for noting this, our company has been dogfeeding and running a Forgejo instance for over a year by now (we got over 100 customers that we are running on this platform) and are currently creating a self-service hosting solution for a lot of different projects/systems, but other than allowing others to get access to use our self-service we never considered hosting Forgejo for others as Codeberg existed and we weren’t aware of the FOSS only rule.

      Feel free to reach out if it’s of interest, I haven’t discussed this in the team but there’s nothing in the way to set up a dedicated Forgejo instance for a company based on our current setup (on our servers, but we can also work with on-premises/other clusters) or letting others access our instance. Since we’re based in Norway everything is hosted on multiple data centers in Finland using Kubernetes with a hybrid architecture of “cloud” and dedicated servers.

      Since we use it ourselves we’ve made sure we got as close to 100% uptime/high performance as we can with Forgejo. We also got ACT runners and for login with got a tenant/auth/OIDC system with auditing (for those that need that).

      We’ve been working for 5+ years to become independent of external companies, which is why we’re a bit ahead of schedule.

        This is super interesting and I would like to hear more! Might be just what many of us are looking for. And there definitely is a market niche you’ve got here.

        When I first heard of codeberg I was going to transfer all of my repos without hesitation but went looking for terms of use and other information about codeberg - that’s how I bumped into this information and it made me a bit sad.

        If you’d be open to share your company name / weblink please do! Might even make a post about it in this community if you feel like that is something you can do (probably should disclose that you work there since people are eager to pull the report-trigger on self-promotion unless you mention it).

        If not yet publicly, I can send you a message :) (I see you are possibly new on lemmy, so know that lemmy messages are not e2e encrypted and that’s why many of us add our matrix handles on our profiles).
