What is Codeberg?
Codeberg is a collaborative platform that offers git hosting specifically tailored for free and open source software, as well as various other projects. It operates autonomously, depending on user donations and contributions, and encourages individuals to join the non-profit association Codeberg e. V. for membership benefits and voting privileges. Our services are entirely hosted on self-managed servers, which means users are not subjected to external dependencies, third-party cookies, or any tracking mechanisms. Although the Free and Open Source Software community has made significant contributions, the ecosystem is largely influenced by commercial platforms that capitalize on our collaborative efforts. This creates a paradox where numerous volunteers invest their time and expertise in developing crucial knowledge and software, which ultimately supports proprietary systems that lack transparency and accountability. Acknowledging this disparity is essential as we work towards a future that emphasizes open access, community-driven initiatives, and fair representation of our contributions. We must advocate for a more equitable digital landscape that honors the true spirit of collaboration and innovation.

An Amazing Non-Profit Alternative (But More Spartanic)
Date: Oct 31 2022SummaryGreat and focused, if you got the right type of project (open-source) and can live with smaller featureset.
Positive* Powered by a non-profit, so no weird enterprise-license locked features, no weird misuses like GitHub copilot, etc. Just less potential for shady things going on.
* Very simple and clean UI, especially compared to GitLab.
* Nice community.
* Free if your project is open-source, plenty opportunity to meet like-minded open-source developers.Negative* Limited to open-source, although this is also a positive point if you're looking for like-minded people.

* Continuous Integration is just available as closed beta, no kubernetes or other advanced integrations, so it's a bit basic.
* Less proven and financially backed than the big players, so I suppose bigger risk that one day it goes under.
* Less great exploration and social features than GitHub, although they seem to be working on improving that (in Gitea, the software Codeberg uses).
