My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don’t seem welcome.
The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.
I’ve seen many people use Codeberg recently.
If you are willing to self-host and are scared of the gitea license shake-up, use forgejo.
When it comes to self-hosting, there’s also the costs. Hosting providers have been hitting me with price hikes one after another this year, so I’m looking into shutting down some servers instead.
I pay $12 per year for my vps…
which company and specs?
Https://Hostvds.com … There are a bunch of others similarly priced ones though… I think it has 1gb ram, 10gb hdd, IP address, etc… Its enough to run a wordpress woocommerce store
Any suggestions for where I can read up on the licensing troubles?
