After all, you don't even need Gitea for pure Git hosting. If you have a server with SSH access, just init a bare repo in a directory, push to that, and you're ready to go. No web UI needed.
The reason I'm still using GitHub is not code hosting. It's collaboration.
I hope they figure out what’s going on every morning. Heard from inside they don’t know why the db dies everyday but restarting it fixes it.
In any case, why not just relocate some vendor engineers on site for a bit? Or, better, why does the vendor not have a small presence in the corner?
Sounds like whatever "the db" is it's probably some (objectively) small but very scary thing that's currently on fire and people are trying to figure out how to put it out without crashing the plane and also making too many waves internally, which is probably even harder. So asking about making vendor noises is (as useful as it may be) probably going down the wrong path - in much the same way this is probably not related to the outages (it may well be, but from the outside it's all coincidence anyway).

I’m not sure at what organization that is true. My company lives out of GitHub and Jira and I’ve hardly noticed the three month surge. GitHub would have to do a lot worse to get many companies to want to host their own services. This is the argument people have said about the cloud from day one. People want to know it isn’t their problem, that makes cloud computing (and things like GitHub) worth their weight in gold.…
At my organization it's always been true. Setting up GitLab is fairly easy, in my company we do it and it's cheap (on-prem hosting is basically zero, and we had the IPs/domains already) and it hasn't given us too many headaches. I think last time I had to do something was maybe a few months ago when I restarted it so that it picked up the updated SSL certificate.
Moving to gitea solved all of those issues for me (thus far), now I’m looking into adding other stuff like CI through Drone.

Gitlab just seems better for actually running a software project.

If you are a closed org, that is. Running your own gitea or gitlab with registration enabled and having to deal with spam is a real hurdle.
Is it not possible to restrict access to the git server from a VPN server only? Just off the top of my head, that's one thing you can do.

The parent comment was explicitly about non-closed (e.g. private) orgs.

Maybe you are in a different time zone because our organization certainly noticed and was disrupted by this.

Is it really though? Are engineers committing so frequently that they can't make it through a few hours without Github?

Does Gitea support some kind of federation / cross-instance PRs? That's the main thing I'd miss from a self-hosted instance, the ease of getting contributions. After all, you don't even need Gitea for pure Git hosting. If you have a server with SSH access, just init a bare repo in a directory, push to that, and you're ready to go. No web UI needed.
