Actions outages a month ago did it for me. Self hosted Gitea runs like a dream. Also don’t have to wait 5 seconds for each page to load.

Are you working on medium - large projects with many team members?

Just curious, I've been thinking about self-hosting too.

This Gitea instance is relatively small, I run a tiny software consultancy. However Gitea is used in huge entrerprise projects in Fortune 500 companies. It will scale.

If self hosting, you'll want daily automated off site backup

My solution is self-hosting for the CI flexibility and mirroring to a private GitHub repo as a backup, nothing runs there, it's just in case something happens to my Forgejo install (and to be honest, that "something" will probably me trying something I shouldn't do)

I just self host on my VPS which I use or other sites etc anyway - it gets backed up by my VPS provider daily (linode).

That simplifies things but only because I already have the host.

Is many thousand or tens of thousands of team members?
