First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

I'm OOTL. Why is Codeberg better than GitLab?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

It is FOSS while GitLab EE is not.
It supports a lot of atifact repository formats while GitLab only docker registry.
It is a non-commercial project.

not true https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/package_registry/supported_package_managers.html

that said, I hate gitlab and their commercial choices, they must die

Thank you I missed when they added this. I only track a very old FR for rpm support and was sure that situation is similar with other repos. However gitea/forgejo supports more formats including rpm.

Codeberg is ran by a German nonprofit. GitLab is publically-traded on NASDAQ.

I'm not really sure it is. I just wish I'd shopped around before jumping to Gitlab, really.

It kindof feels like Gitlab's aims are more commercial and Codeberg's are more in line with the FOSS movement, but that's just a vague sense I have based on things I've seen but no longer remember specifically.

CalcProgrammer1's response to my post seems pretty informative and apropos, though.
