Private Git hosting, without the self-hosting job.
Managed Forgejo for teams looking for a GitHub alternative because they want private code control, no AI training on repo content, and a forge they can leave cleanly.
Managed Forgejo
Use Fjord when GitHub feels too central for your team's private work.
Fjord is not trying to replace GitHub's public square. It is for teams whose source code, issues, reviews, and CI are mostly their own work, and who want that work on a dedicated open source forge operated by someone else.
When Fjord is the wrong answer
Stay with GitHub when public discoverability, Marketplace actions, GitHub-native social features, or the largest contributor network matter more than private tenancy and operating control.
Why teams choose Fjord as the alternative
Private code on a dedicated forge
Fjord gives your team its own upstream Forgejo instance, rather than putting every repo inside another centralized SaaS account.
No AI training on repository or CI content
The promise is written into the product terms and backed by single-tenant hosting, so your code is not part of a shared training corpus.
Per-instance pricing
The bill is tied to the forge, not each contributor you invite, which keeps the choice legible as the team changes.
Operations handled for you
Fjord runs upgrades, TLS, monitoring, backups, and runners, while you keep standard Git and Forgejo workflows.
