Interest in using Gitea as hosted service?

Hello there!

I’m starting a new concept called “Open Services” for running Open Source Infrastructure similar to how Public Utilities are run today. There is more information about what Open Services is here: GitHub - open-services/open-services: Description of Open Services and a framework for operating them

So, with that in mind, I was wondering if there is any interest in having a public, 100% open platform for Git hosting, with a deployed instance of Gitea for public use?

The service would be funded by the users on a voluntary basis. The infrastructure would be maintained by the Open Services community while the software would be the standard distribution of Gitea, without any extra services built on top.

Seems like there is interest, as there are many of these types of instances. The following are funded by the community that uses them:

git.teknik.io

Teknik Git

Gitea (Git with a cup of tea) is a painless self-hosted Git service written in Go

codeberg.org

Codeberg.org

Codeberg is founded as a Non-Profit Organization, with the objective to give the Open-Source code that is running our world a safe and friendly home, and to ensure that free code remains free and secure forever.

Edit: Please don’t take this as me discouraging you, by me pointing out others are doing it is showing that it can be done. I encourage you to do this.

Awesome, searched a bit before but didn’t find anything. Great!

It does not discourage me at all, just shows that people wanted it enough for someone to already create it
