We've migrated to Forgejo over the last couple of weeks. We position ourselves[0] as an alternative to the big cloud providers, so it seemed very silly that a critical piece of our own infrastructure could be taken out by a GitHub or Azure outage.

It has been a pretty smooth process. Although we have done a couple of pieces of custom development:

1) We've created a Firecracker-based runner, which will run CI jobs in Firecracker VMs. This brings the Foregjo Actions running experience much more closely into line with GitHub's environment (VM, rather than container). We hope to contribute this back shortly, but also drop me a message if this is of interest.

2) We're working up a proposal[1] to add environments and variable groups to Forgejo Actions. This is something we expect to need for some upcoming compliance requirements.

I really like Forgejo as a project, and I've found the community to be very welcoming. I'm really hoping to see it grow and flourish :D

PS. We are also looking at offering this as a managed service to our clients.

Why .eu if you're in London? Where are your servers located and who hosts them?

We have two entities. An EU one and a UK one. I'm based in Munich, servers are in Germany.
