When you self host, what happens with your compute costs? CI can be super expensive depending upon your test pipeline. Do you end up spending more than you would with GitHub actions for example?

Just get some x86 and ARM runners off netcup, manage Woodpecker CI + Woodpecker Agent. Generally pretty hands-off once you get it set up. That plus a cheap VPS running Forgejo with postgres off-site backups, you are looking at a small fraction of the cost compared to per-seat GitHub pricing for orgs + Action Minutes.

		He is likely referring to the CI runners. Gitea has their own version of Actions runner. It is very much usable, though currently inferior to GitHub Actions (not always a 1:1 replacement, even though they aim for it to be): https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/ Cost as always depends on your usage, but it will likely be less than your current cost of GitHub Actions.
