Thanks, this was very helpful! I was scanning the prose on the Codeberg website looking to see if Codeberg itself was open source, but all it said was that it was "free" and "non-profit."
Now I see that Gitea is the software (basically a clone of GitHub that is visually almost div-for-div, released with an MIT license, that you can host yourself), and Codeberg is central hosting (a "hub") running Gitea, operated as a non-profit.
Gitea is a fork of gogs.
Gogs is still in development as well. If people are interested, definitely check that out as well.
If you don’t need issue tracking then also check out cgit.
Gitea is very slow (eg 4s GET requests) for large codebases. cgit is like lightning.
