So, what's the actual real alternative ? The one that also supports open source projects ? Ironically gitlab is costlier than github, and not without their faults, but that's "maybe" the only other alternative here, anything else ?

I just installed a gitea. It seems decent.

  It absolutely is. The only concerns are if it were exposed to the public internet and scale. For personal stuff? It's spectacular.

    For an individual project? Seems kind of far off that an individual project would take load that one server could not handle, even at open source level. Or do you mean allow people to create projects freely?

Codeberg, Sourcehut, or self hosted Gitea.

I've been running a self-hosted Forgejo. Extremely responsive and I've been really happy with it.

  How many PRs from other people have you received on your self-hosted Forgejo instance?

    None and I don't want to. If I did I would host it on a VPS and make it public.

        Because it has CI and builds images in a nice and easy manner.

It's not that difficult to self-host the free version of gitlab.

Looking at the suggestions for self-hosting here and in other threads, I wonder why self-hosting Fossil is not more widely done. From the comments I’ve seen from its users, it seems to work quite well.
