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'm not aware of any advantage of gitea over forgejo. I'm running the latter myself and I'm very happy.

Gitlab provides more corporate bling bling around the core git experience than forgejo but is also way heavier.

I'd check if jorgejo fulfils your needs.

Also in addition you could check out codeberg.org which runs forgejo and is a nonprofit - especially when it comes to recruiters a public facing entity might look better to someone who has no idea of self hosting.

I really enjoy forgejo though, it's just a very straight forward piece of software which does what's it advertising.
