Now that #codeberg has manifested their anti-AI view with a 70% in favor vote (https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253) we're happy to welcome (once again) all the people which have to/want to move their repositories off Codeberg but still want to stay on a Forgejo-based instance. Bonus: on top you'll get better uptime, faster site responses and faster CI runners - all for free :) tl;dr: after this ToU change, keeping AI-generated code on Codeberg would violate these and repositories will be in danger of deletion. #codeberg #codefloe #giveUpGitHub

Proposal Assembly 2026: ToU extension to prohibit LLM-extrusions

Here is the proposed addition for the ToU that @Gusted and I agreed on post-assembly for the upcoming membership vote. 🙏 The discussion for this proposal is available for Codeberg e. V. members in the forum: https://forum.codeberg.org/d/139-resolutions-for-assembly-on-codeberg-taking-a-stand-a...

To do @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de a favor and increase forge freedom and flexibility, we've created a CLI tool to batch migrate repositories between forges. This way, all the people who want to (or have to) migrate off from #codeberg can do so in a much faster pace, freeing up more space at Codeberg for valuable non-LLM related projects. The CLI tool is also advertised in our migration UI view. https://codefloe.com/codefloe/forgejo-batch-migrate

@Tronde@social.anoxinon.de We accept donations. Thr goal is reach cost parity at some point. We haven't done so since the platform is up and see the effective costs as a service to the public ✌️ After parity is reached, the remaining funds will be given out to the individuals maintaining the platform.

New feature: Pull Request preview environments! Read more at https://forum.codefloe.com/t/2026-07-27-pr-preview-environments/135 #codefloe #forgejo

2026-07-27: PR Preview environments

Every pull request can now be deployed automatically to a short-lived, browser-accessible instance, so reviewers can click through a change instead of building it locally. Key features: Deployed when a PR opens, updated on every push, torn down on merge/close (with a TTL as a safety net). A bot comment posts the link at https://<owner>-<repo>-pr-<number>-<hash>.preview.codefloe.com. Works with both Crow CI and Forgejo Actions, for static sites and containers.

We've created a infrastructure cost report including donations from the creation of our platform until today. Read more at https://forum.codefloe.com/t/2026-05-01-platform-cost-analytics/108

In addition to our quarterly platform analytics, which focus on user and repository metrics, we have now also explored the financial side to produce a report. The aim is to give users an overview of what it costs to run the platform, how the money is spent, and how much funding is coming in through donations via Liberapay (thanks to every sponsor!).

👋️ Dear #codefloe users

We'd love to get your feedback on the use of mirrors on our platform: https://forum.codefloe.com/t/platform-discussion-the-use-of-mirrors/107

Platform discussion: the use of mirrors

Platform discussion: the use of mirrors

Dear community, we’d like to get your opinions about the use of the “mirrors” feature in the platform. Right now, this feature is enabled, meaning users can create repositories which are mirrors of repositories from other platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc.). The problem We’re seeing continuous abusive usage of this functionality where some accounts have repos that only consist of mirrors. Some of these are also (very) large repos (100MB+, sometimes in the GB range). These repos don’t ha

We have fixed some recent issues with our Pages integration. You should now be able to easily configure a static website again right from your repo settings!
Including custom domain configuration and a super fast proxy backend.

Private and GDPR compliant, thanks to statichost.eu!

Give it a try, especially when you're searching for a new home for your #github pages site!

Introducing: Granular watch setting for repositories!

https://forum.codefloe.com/t/2026-03-03-granular-repository-watch-settings/85

More control than just watch/unwatch, so you can finally watch "only" releases for repositories of interest!

2026-03-03: Granular repository watch settings

We’re happy to roll out a significant improvement related to platform interaction today: granular repository watch settings! So far, users could only “watch” a repo or unwatch it, i.e. receive notifications for all events or none. This is a subsequent downside for many, as often one only wants to get notified about new releases (and/or PRs) but not about any new issue. And as a bonus on top, we also added another option: exclude specific users from the selected events. Especially in the era

We've published our first quarterly metrics report!

Read more about it in our forum post https://forum.codefloe.com/t/2025-12-31-quartely-platform-analytics/74.

And for convenience: here is a direct link to the Q4 2025 report: https://codefloe.com/codefloe/analytics/src/branch/main/reports/2025-Q4/quarterly_report.md

With the year ending, we want to present another goodie for data geeks: Starting with Q4 2025, CodeFloe will now publish quarterly usage statistics. The data is gathered through the /admin API endpoint and collects notable metrics of the platform: Total users Total repos Total Orgs Total Repo Size on Disk etc. Besides summing up the totals per quarter, we also plan to compare each quarter (and subsequently each year) against the respective previous one. The report for Q4 2025 already include

Our hosted #renovate bot now runs via the mogenius/renovate-operator (https://github.com/mogenius/renovate-operator).

This enables webhook-based support, i.e. clicking the checkboxes in the renovate dashboard and PR actions now have an effect!

In the last hour, we got hammered by an Asian bot farm which used a very recent Chrome UA and thousands of unique IPs issueing around ~500 req/min for arbitrary repo (and request) paths.

This first caused a very high CPU pressure on the server running Forgejo and subsequently also a spike in memory, ultimately making the instance unresponsive.

If you ever wondered how this looks like on the metrics side, we've attached some screenshots here.

We've added a subnet-based rate-limit to catch these (at /16 level), so this attack vector isn't possible anymore (at least at this intensity level).

Replying to

@n0toose @Codeberg there's always subtle interpretation to such posts so certain sentences might be interpreted differently. We'd be happy to have a positive relationship with @Codeberg and possibly other future forges which promote an open ecosystem and @forgejo. We believe it would beneficial it people wouldn't jump from one big instance to the next but that there would rather be a real base for federation. So the actual goal should be to push more "small" instances to become medium ones. And give them some presence. And ideally there would be more than just us, so federation does actually have a practical and not just theoretical future.

Replying to

@badsector@mastodon.gamedev.place That shouldn't be, thanks for raising it! This is caused by our HAProxy ACL rules denying access if there are too many query parameters in the URL - which is what happens if you visit these paths as FJ will insert something like $URL?q=&type=all&sort=relevance&state=all&labels=&milestone=0&project=0&assignee=0&poster=0&archived=false We'll fix it and relax our ACL there. It's always a thin line between gating unwanted traffic and not affecting real users :)
