I'm done. Moving to Forgejo. It's wonderful and everything works better.

Seriously like everything is instant when you click around, and CI with a runner works beautifully. (The documentation for setting up the runner could be a tad clearer but otherwise everything was so painless.)

Self-hosted, or are you using something managed? I’ve held off switching from Gitlab for now as everything is setup and runs ok, but they’re pushing their AI hard into every corner. Not a lot of good managed options around (yet), especially in Europe. Codey (https://www.codey.ch/) is pretty expensive and doesn’t offer runners out of the box.

    Self-hosted. It runs great on a tiny VPS with other services. But I did have to get a cheaper Hetzner server (5 Euros-ish for 4GB RAM) to run the runner.

    Forgejo feels like a refreshing blast from the past. No intrusive AI cramming. The Web Interface is snappy and responsive, not waiting for constant loaders and spinners. It takes almost no resources to run.
