The main options I am looking at are Codeberg and self-hosting a Forgejo instance. Which brings me to:
3.) How heavy is Forgejo to host? I've got doubts that it will fit on holenet's current VPS, and I'm not sure I can eat the cost of a larger/second instance. My ISP would rather that I not have a web server on a residential account and I'm not sure what the extra cost per month will be. And there's no colo places near me to rent space from (and if I did I think it has to be a rack mount server and not me cobbling together something from the i7 9800X-flavored parts from my previous rig)
4.) How painless (or painful!) is it to contribute or interact with a git server/forge that *isn't* on the same platform? Like, if someone was still using GitHub or GitLab or Codeberg and my repo was self-hosted, would they be able to do forks and make PRs without needing to make accounts on my server?

@techokami@woof.tech it's pretty light to host, I have a personal instance on a $2.50 OVH VPS, but that is only 20 GB of space that gets filled up pretty quickly if openai is spamming requests to the point of crashing logrotate

@cthuflu@social.cthuflu.com so what are the requirements in terms of software deps? I'm asking because I once tried to run something that people claimed was light on a light VPS, and the entire thing was crushed by Node.js (a dependency) being rather heavy and eating all the resources
