I personally host a forgejo instance on a private VPS ; so far almost no maintenance except protecting it from ai-crawlers[#1]. If you don't want the hassle, codeberg.org is a public instance of forgejo.

I configure my local repositories to push on both Github and my forgejo instance. I am not using the CI much for my private projects (local tests are enough in my case).

I answered this in another thread, if you're already running a large GitHub organization, GitLab is the closest alternative in terms of features

A big plus is that it also has an open-source Community Edition that you can self-host

You might want to consider checking out GitLab and Gitee.

You mean Gitea [0], a community-driven fork is Forgejo. There was some drama, have to admit is still don't really understand it (ask an llm I'd say). Codeberg [2] uses Forgejo and offers it as a hosted service. [0] https://about.gitea.com/ [1] https://forgejo.org/ [2] https://codeberg.org/

Technically gitee is also a git hosting provider: https://gitee.com/ (scroll to bottom right corner for language switcher).

My org self hosts the community version of gitlab and we are perfectly happy with it. Manage your own infrastructure, put the work into maintaining it and you'll have much fewer headaches.
