Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

i tried all three for my personal use. so i can't say much about collaboration aspects. anyway:

gitlab is old, stable and solid. and it eats half of your servers resources.
gitea and forgeji are for me equal in experience, which is makes sense, as one being a fork of the other. i haven't had any issues with anything, from setting up, using openid as auth method, to ssh passthrough.
eventually i settled now on forgejo, simply for ideology reasons. it's heavily developed, so things might change. but they have this nice attitude to not release a latest tag for docker. so you can't accidentally update to a breaking change. had this issue with some other programs, which i spun up to quickly.
looking forward to federation feature on forgejo!
