Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Currently? Zero reason.

Lummy, the creator of Gitea, wrote a post about why he moved Gitea over a company.

The TL;DR; is that it allowed Gitea to better work with companies that wanted to fund them but couldn't fund individuals directly, moved the Gitea trademark to an entity that could outlive the creator, etc.

There hasn't been any significant changes to how Gitea operates or can be used from a user point-of-view since the change happened.

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea that will pull changes made from Gitea, without being a company. In the events that Gitea goes to shit, it'll be there as a replacement.

Interesting read. Thanks for the extensive comment. I'm a bid baffled that I missed the announcement myself as I maintain the instance I use at work as our git reposity, main issue tracker, and internal package feed. So I try the follow the blog. But life is busy.

Forgejo is a community-run soft fork of Gitea created when Gitea became a corporation a couple months ago
