Thinking of moving on from GitHub - I already have a GitLab and Codeberg presence.

But I find both of them dissatisfying for two reasons.

1. I can't host in my own domain. I don't want to run/maintain a git instance. But I'd like to use git.edent.tel - so I can keep the URL but swap provider if necessary.

2. Lack of community / discoverability. Both GL & CB let new users sign in with GH, but that's still a bit of a barrier.

(This is a nerdbait to help me find the answers.)

OK! I think I have a solution.

As suggested by @eivindmork - I've set up a test Gitea instance using @Pikapods. Only €2/month and I can bring my own subdomain.

I've added social sign-in via GitHub and GitLab to enable people to send me PRs and Issues. Don't think it is quite as easy as GitHub, but it is a start.

Please kick the tyres, log in, play about with it and let me know what else it needs. I've never configured #gitea before.
