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 guess it depends on how you look at it - "It needs to be installed separately."

You left out a part of the sentence;

Note that Forgejo does not run the jobs, it relies on the Forgejo Runner to do so. It needs to be installed separately.

And:

As of Forgejo v1.21, Actions is enabled by default.

So yeah. it depends on how you look at it. For me it means it's part of Forgejo.

Github actions also needs a separate runner, github just provides some free ones for you. You can self-host a github actions runner as well.
