It is an awesome product, I really want to try it a bit more at home later in the evening. Don't you think it could be a good idea that considering it is to self host git projects, to self host your own project? I mean, why don't you use your own product?

I'm hosting Gitea on a $5/month DigitalOcean box, I had to setup disk snaposhots and db backups for security.

It's running since a year, never had a problem with it. It only consumes 20MB of RAM and is extremely fast. Easy to deploy (I've used ansible)

They don't use it because it doesn't have all the features yet: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029

It's probably a cost question, to my knowledge gitea.io is a github pages website. The only running cost is really the domain.

Running the git service is probably a bit expensive and you loose the network effect of github.

They could probably migrate to gitlab though.

gitea.io is run on Digital ocean. You can see the expenses here: https://opencollective.com/gitea
