Gitea Enterprise

Just an observation: Essentially anyone who works for a significant amount of time on an open source project, wants some way to earn money from it.<p>In the end all of us have to pay the bills.

I really don’t get this. The only reason anyone ever had to run gitea instead of gitlab or GitHub was that it was a more bare bones but open source alternative. Now they are dropping the open source part and stepping into the arena of competing on enterprise features against gitlab and GitHub? Why would anyone ever chose gitea over them?

Well, this proves the forgejo fork was justified, now we have an open core version under the same brand as the main project.

It would be interesting to hear from the Gitea contributors who were vehemently denying on here that this would happen when concerns were raised just a few months ago.

I&#x27;ll consider it when they start eating their own dog food

As much as I don’t like the direction they’re going, it’s understandable that they can’t maintain it for free forever.<p>I think the gatekeept features are indeed for enterprises and individual users aren’t affected <i>too</i> much. If you’re a company and use Gitea, it would be nice to pay. One thing I don’t know is whether enterprise customers get to review the source code.

A company might switch from Github Enterprise to Gitea Enterprise if they were fed up with GitHub Support (or lack of it) and wanted to be able to run on-prem with k8s.

Or just run gogs.
