I recall looking at it maybe 2-3 years ago and deciding against it. And it never seemed to get traction in the selfhosted community either.

...but I can't for the life of me recall why. Definitely wasn't a radioactive red flag issue...but some aspect around CI wasn't for me.

In general though with things like this that carry an open license and have a docker image you're better off trying it yourself than listening to randoms like me

This is why I dropped it. The CI/CD configurations were some weird proprietary format where as gitlab/gitea/forejo are all (mostly) feature compliant with my already existing github workflow files

I evaluated moving from Gitea to OneDev before Gitea had CI. OneDev was useable, I didn't mind it, but I don't run java anywhere else so I decided against adopting it. A few years later and now Gitea/Forgejo are at feature parity.

For me the bus factor was a bit of a red flag, plus I prefer the layout in forgejo/gitea. Also didn't like that there wasn't really any obvious way to link in an external CI, and of course it's written in java so had that to factor in too.
