I use Forgejo at work. We have set it up on a server and it quickly became our main VCS server.
Forgejo just sounds complex, once you install it(really simple setup), it is just… Git. You create your repos, you push your commits, and do all the normal git stuff with it.
You can even enable Forgejo Actions and have built-in Github Actions like CI for your repos, and it works surprisingly well.
Gitea is alright. It’s a very well working git server.
Someone probably wanted the 3d preview and maybe it wasn’t difficult. You could say integrating “gitea pages” would be a high priority but that doesn’t mean that there can be side quests along the way. You can probably read the PR if you want to know why it’s included
Anyone using a Version Control system to do 3d design work, if I was smart I would be using this for the stuff I design to 3d print. But I’m not so I just have directories full of STL and 3MF files with occasionally somewhat descriptive names. Oh or 3d artists working on games, videos etc. People who are doing architectural design? Just people with other random interests? I suck at staying organised but I gave Forgejo a go and as long as you follow the getting started guide and keep it on an internal network its pretty straightforward to get started, complexity goes up if you are wanting to use it externally or in more co.plicated scenarios I believe.
I use Gitea and all it manages are my docker configs and backup scripts. Simple to install via docker and then its just git. Haven’t had to do anything fancy.
I don’t know a ton about Gitea, but I’ve recently starting looking for a simple git server + decent web UI
Gitea and Forgejo are the main recommended ones, but they both seem overly complex. (3D File previews?? Who needs that?)
ForgeJo has been a joy to use over the past few months for me. No regrets.

Why overly complex? What do you mean?

It seems designed for like teams of people. They both have like admin interfaces, which I can’t ever imagine for my use case.
I’m sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.
you could try something like cgit, that is the simplest you can get with git frontends I think
Interesting, though this seems to only be a UI, not a server
You don’t need a specific server for bare-bones git server. Just an ssh server is sufficient
I do want it at least clonable over https
Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.
There’s soft serve but it doesn’t have a UI
