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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

If you're like me, you probably need to update your image tag to this new major version. I'll probably wait for a minor release first.

Gitea is developed by a corporation. If you trust corporations not to enshittify eventually, maybe Gitea will be the exception to the rule, but I doubt it, for sufficiently long definitions of "eventually". Forgejo was forked specifically because the governance needed to be detached from the corporation, and that wasn't going to happen with Gitea. The community of open-source developers mostly voted with their feet. Forgejo is, in my humble opinion, going places. Gitea is not. Nothing specifically wrong with it, per se, but it doesn't really offer a sustainable development path forward I don't think.
