A large chunk of companies I've worked for or consulted for had their own on-prem Gitlab. I think they chose correctly.

On perm Gitlab has a ton of problems too.

For examples? Never ran into them myself but I don't do ops.

Only well known project on Codeberg that comes to mind is Zig

That's because most of what you can see of a Codeberg is actually underwater.

Does Forgejo count?

We had zero in the last 7 years. But we are only a small team of 8.

Codeberg runs open source Forgejo, and you could on-prem that too (for no license cost), if it suits your needs.

GitLab is more powerful in some ways, but early startups might want to look at Forgejo first.

Sorry, but there are a million things to do. Paying someone to self-host Forgejo isn't even on that list. We'll just pay someone at the moment.

I don't do ops myself so I don't know the exact details but sometimes Gitlab is down or there are strange issues with CI/CD breaking.

Has anyone used the Repository Mirroring Feature [1] to mirror repos across self-hosted Forgejo/Codeberg/Github? How effortless is it? Ideally, I'd like to only ever push repos/branches to my self-hosted Forgejo, and have those changes automatically reflected on Codeberg/GH without thinking about it.

I suppose this is a good opportunity to ask, why do people get so affected by DVCS hosts going down? You can work locally with Git without uploading every change. Despite the constant reported GitHub downtime, I have not ever been adversely affected even once, since pushing and pulling are done every few days and I can freely branch/commit/merge locally.
