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

> For the time being, it appears that all three servers are without power. This strikes me as odd, only three servers?

This seems like a weird comment since Codeberg is only for open source projects, you literally cannot use it for private code. On-prem Forgejo would be the equivalent to on-prem GitLab, both of which are unrelated to this outage.

I’m using it for private, not publicly visible code right now.

Never heard of it. And it makes HN?

I am VERY active in technology and that I haven't heard of it means something, too. I notice--far too often--that obscure things like this get posted here and elsewhere which can confuse others into thinking they have to get involved or learn about it cause they saw it on so they have to learn it, too, when it's only a niche case among few.
Only well known project on Codeberg that comes to mind is Zig

> 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.
Depends on the nature of your startup, and if you have significant infrastructure/architrcture for your workload or not. If you have significant scale you likely have a DevOps / SysAdmin type.
When I was the one-person eng and ops departments for a few-person seed-stage startup, which already had a major customer in critical production... even when we bought SaaSes (e.g., GitLab), I still needed to spend significant time on the recurring manual steps of backup processes for everywhere we put data we couldn't afford to lose, even after I'd spent time to automate everything that was worthwhile to automate.
For my last side-startup, I just self-hosted Forgejo myself (Git, Issues & Boards, Wiki), and it's less work than when I was doing the same with paid GitLab SaaS.
It depends on the case-by-case circumstances, but sometimes self-hosting an open source package, on your laptop, random PC in the corner, or your existing AWS account, takes less of your valuable time than a paid SaaS does.
How… why… what? Let's say it's like.. well… I don't know.. anyway.. people (esp. from USA), please don't be offended (discussion on this topic has felt like we are from different planets), I'd rather pay a simple restaurant bill where 2Y tip is mandatorily part of the bill than a Y tip that I would "leave at the table" or "drop in a tip jar" or "generously" "hand it" (or slip it) to the staff. I have lots of problems with the latter but let's not get into that here anyway.
