codeberg might be a little slower on git cli, but at least it's not becoming a weekly 'URL returned error: 500' situation...

These days it feels like people have simply forgotten that you could also just have a bare repository on a VPS and use it over ssh.

    I've found that a bare repo over SSH is the simplest way to keep control and reduce attack surface, especially when you don't need fancy PR workflows. I ran many projects with git init --bare on a Debian VPS, controlled access with authorized_keys and git-shell, and wrote a post-receive hook that runs docker-compose pull and systemctl restart so pushes actually deploy. The tradeoff is you lose built-in PRs, issue tracking, and easy third party CI, so either add gitolite or Gitea for access and a simple web UI, or accept writing hooks, backups, receive.denyNonFastForwards, and scheduled git gc to avoid surprises at 2AM.

I mean, this isn't a 'URL returned error: 500' situation for anything that Codeberg provides considering this is an issue with Copilot and Actions.

I rarely successfully get Codeberg URLs to load. Which is sad because I actually would very much like to recommend it but I find it unreliable as a source.

That being said, GitHub is Microsoft now, known for that Microsoft 360 uptime.

    I have never had this issue. IIRC Codeberg has a matrix community, they are a non-profit and they would absolutely love to hear your feedback of them. I hope that you can find their matrix community and join it and talk with them

    Actually here you go, I have pasted the matrix link to their community, hope it helps https://matrix.to/#/#codeberg-space:matrix.org

    > Microsoft 360 uptime

    I mean... It's right in the name! It's up for 360 days a year.
