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.

https://git.edent.tel/edent/SuperTinyIcons/

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.

@Edent I'd also be interested. As just mentioned to @neilhttps://social.lol/@hl/115014547094295951 a lot of the problem with getting away from GitHub is not hosting the code, it's all the extra services and features they have, and the other providors that integrate with them, that won't integrate with other git remotes.
