In general yes.
Codebergs base software is forgejo, which is open source, developed by the company behind codeberg. It is generally wanted to deploy your own instance of forgejo to build commercial software.
This is further supported by forgejos current progress to federate git servers with the fediverse standard. This would allow people on codeberg to open issues and pull requests on commercial instances.
I've been waiting for that progress to materialise. Although I really want it to work, it has taken so long now that I doubt it is taken seriously and thus I start to doubt they will keep maintaining it once it does land.
For most commercial software you don't need federation though, so for most you can just spin up your own instance.
what i've yet to understand is why nothing seems to have ever shipped, not even a trace of federation.
it's like every time someone attempts it they refuse to make an MVP, instead they work and work until it's 100% ready and just before finishing they have a heart attack like in monty python and the holy grail
what i would do is take an existing project and start by just federating a simple view of repositories, along with likes. Just get something out there so people can see things are happening.
Fully agree. I presume it's way harder than it seems. https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md shows some things as done and many as WIP. Perhaps there's a demo server somewhere with which we can experiment?
