Partner with VSHN on Forgejo Consulting
You bring the customer relationship and Forgejo expertise: consulting, migration from GitHub/GitLab, workflow customization, developer training. VSHN brings Forgejo instance operations via Codey, architecture consulting, backups, monitoring, and 24/7 operations. Together you deliver a complete Forgejo solution without either side building capabilities you don't have.
How we collaborate
Lead Partner model. For each project, one of us is the customer's single point of contact. Who leads depends on the project, agreed per engagement. The Lead Partner drives the project, handles invoicing, and owns first-level support.
Joint delivery. You handle consulting, integration, and project management. VSHN handles infrastructure operations, monitoring, backups, and SLA. Or the other way around, depending on the project. Roles are agreed per engagement, not locked into a rigid structure.
Flexible billing. Invoice the customer together or separately, agreed per project. Both models are supported: each party invoices their share directly, or one party invoices the full amount and redistributes.
Protected relationships. No undercutting. Your customer stays your customer. Existing relationships are respected on both sides, with contractual protections for both parties.

|---|---|
| Forgejo consulting | Forgejo instance operations (via Codey) |

Keep the client relationship. Hand over the Forgejo instance.
You migrated the client to Forgejo and trained their developers. The instance you installed along the way is still yours to upgrade and back up, and yours to answer for when it is down.
Then the Lead Partner model runs in one direction: you stay the client's single point of contact and invoice them, and VSHN operates the instance behind you under a contract with you.
We operate what we know. Forgejo has to be set up to the VSHN standard before we can run it around the clock, because the engineer who answers at 03:00 has to know the system. An existing instance is brought to that standard first.
