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.

FLOSS dedicated Git hosting in Germany, it's a Gitea instance AFAIK.

It's running Forgejo.

Okay, that sounds like it hits the spot. I'll read up on them. Happy to hear testimonials for existing users.

CI/CD is work-in-progress. Aside from that, it's working perfectly for me.

Not really gitea but forgejo which a softfork of gitea

Codeberg is run by a German non-profit.
laenurd@lemmy.lemist.de · 19 pts · 2y
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...

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?

It might not be a solution for everyone, but you can self host a git repository on your static site!
stagit is a static git site generator. It is lean, you can self host it even of the cheapest of shared hosting and it makes code browseable via html, which is a plus for sharing and receiving suggestions/contributions.
For a relatively small, low bandwith project it is a charm. As an example, here are my repositories.
agrammatic@feddit.de · 5 pts · 2y
I like the concept and the aesthetics, but I guess you still need to run a git server?
fafff@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 2y
Nope! Little known to people, you just need to locally clone your repository with
--bareand upload that. You will see you can clone it even if you don't have a git server!It is a very slick, minimalist solution.

TIL, thanks. This might be a viable path for me.

I can recommend Sourcehut, it's still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn't a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.
agrammatic@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y
I can give it a shot, certainly. One of the main contributors behind it is in my RSS reader so there's some name recognition there. Future pricing is not final though, so I can't budget for it before committing.

I second Sourcehut. I liked it so much, I started paying for it a couple of years ago.
The CI works really well, and the parts are slowly (but continuously) becoming more integrated and cohesive.
The features I like best may, however, be anti-features to others. The web interfaces are spartan (and correspondingly lightweight). Many interactions require more esoteric workflows - such as the aforementioned "PRs via email." You could self-host the entire suite, if you wanted, and there's almost no possibility for vendor lock-in... I guess there's no real downside to that one. And Drew is a Character, which is fun if you agree with him on many things, which I do, but could be annoying if you don't.
I am a happy subscriber, FWIW.

Selfhosting Forgejo is a good solution, especially since federation via ActivityPub will be available soonish.
Codeberg is nice (and will join the federation), but they are getting a bit too big and are having some scaling problems.
I am also working on a Forgejo code hosting site over at https://f-hub.org but it isn't really open for public yet (I am willing to on-board people interested in contributing to running the site though). The idea is to launch it together with the availability of the Forgejo federation.

What is FLOSS?
schmensch@discuss.tchncs.de · 10 pts · 2y
free libre open source software.
Basically software by the people for the people controlled and kept in check by the people.

What's wrong with gitlab?
cyclohexane@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 2y
It's operated by a publicly traded company. That seems be an extreme case of "for-profit" that OP is trying to avoid.
thecam@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
It has an awful UI layout.
library_napper@monyet.cc · 3 pts · 2y
Try to publish code anonymously on gitlab with Tor. They won't even let you login.
ExLisper@linux.community · 1 pts · 2y
Why why I do it? I have some open source code there and I link to my repos from LinkedIn. My code is not secret. If it were I would self host my repos. I'm not saying gitlab is great for everything bitits is good for many things.

No protection from fire though. Just because you aren't fussed about privacy, doesn't mean others aren't. Some folk like nudist beaches, others do not.

GitHub for the community. If GitHub ever did something evil, you can migrate trivially.
