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.


If it’s for recruiters, put it on github. That’s the one they are most probably familiar with and you want to minimize barriers to access.
Github is microslop, a company who supports a fascist regime. So no, worst choice.
If a corporate recruiter or technical recruiter can’t navigate a git forge that is not GitHub that is their failing not your problem to fix.
I mean that really depends on how badly you want the job.
yeah but they won’t fix it. They’ll make a note that this candidate is difficult to work with and look for another.
They don’t even have to “look”. Just grab the next resume off the stack.
Then you know the kind of environment the company fosters and do you want to work for an org that doesn’t have the decency to look at their applicants?
I don’t work for an org, I work for money.
Why should I self-sabotage my options, they might have a shit hiring process and still pay well.
That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for
Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury
