"Codeberg provides a Woodpecker CI instance at ci.codeberg.org.
Onboarding requires a few manual steps, as to prevent the abuse of Codeberg's limited resources. You will need to request access by filling out this form. After submitting, a Codeberg volunteer will review your request and grant you access if your use case is appropriate."
