hosting forgejo publicly (feddit.org)

I am experimenting with using forgejo instead of GitHub for my personal projects. So far I like it, however I would like to make it available to the outside world at some point.

I was wondering what kind of traps I should avoid. The following things come to mind so far:

Forgejo Actions seem like a massive potential security risk, however I do not intend to enable sign up for other
OpenID appears to be a thing for forgejo, I do not know how it works and it seems like it would allow access to my instance even with registering disabled
I would put the instance behind a nginx as reverse proxy, but how do you keep bot traffic to a minimum? Anubis?

I feel like there are a ton of things I have not thought of, which is why I am holding off on making anything available without a VPN so far.

You can use Forgejo with OIDC or normal login behind a reverse proxy. If you want to make a repo public, you need to add this to your App.ini under the [service] section: REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false

Example:

[service]
REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM = true
ENABLE_INTERNAL_SIGNIN = false
ENABLE_NOTIFY_MAIL = true
DISABLE_REGISTRATION = false
ALLOW_ONLY_EXTERNAL_REGISTRATION = true
ENABLE_CAPTCHA = false
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = true
DEFAULT_KEEP_EMAIL_PRIVATE = false
DEFAULT_ALLOW_CREATE_ORGANIZATION = true
DEFAULT_ENABLE_TIMETRACKING = true
NO_REPLY_ADDRESS = noreply.localhost
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false

Then you can create a public repo which people can view without an account. You can change visibilty at any time

Yes, this has been configured already, thanks for the suggestion.
