There’s also XPenology - a hacked Synology software to run on non-Synology systems. Awesome when you’ve got it running, can be somewhat adventurous and/or nerve-wrecking when a major update is due.

If you are not a Gitea customer, you are not being informed of security updates in a timely manner

I don’t need a notification of issues, I need a notification of when there’s a new version to roll out. And that can be solved by using things like WatchTower or setting up release notifications on GitHub.

And, of course, a comparison hosted on ForgeJo’s webpage will make it out that they’re “the better choice”.

Also, ForgeJo was promising federation which is still a WIP several years later.

Oh no, it doesn’t do the big feature™. I guess it’s unusable now.

Well, that was the one big distinguishing thing between the two, back when ForgeJo was the new kid on the block. ForgeJo wanted to make it a priority to implement federation.

And I never said it’s unusable - it’s just that I, personally, don’t see any reason to switch from Gitea to ForgeJo.

I’m staying with Gitea. They’ve created the Ltd. so they can sell professional support as most businesses will want a proper invoice. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Also, ForgeJo was promising federation which is still a WIP several years later. And, the one time I’ve tried ForgeJo it shit itself when I’ve added an emoji to my username. For some reason Gitea didn’t have any problem with that.
