I self-host Forgejo on a Docker container. Thinking about it, this is actually the right way to go.

If you got public projects, then something like Codeberg is in fact the place to go. If you got private projects, why push to someone's cloud-hosted git service at all? Push to your own service like Forgejo and sync backups to a local hard-drive or even online using rclone.

Because I don't mind paying github $4 or $7 and not worry about the admin burden.

Of course, this goes for simpler setups where you only use the git hosting part. Because to switch providers you only have to change the remote and push.

If you got yourself dependent on their other pipelines, it's more complicated.
