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.

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don't want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.

Run gitea on a small box.

Selfhost

[–] FrustratedArtist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Can you clarify something about self-hosting for me please. If I want to collaborate with other people on self-hosted a git repo, do I need to have a static IP or a router device that is compatible with services like noip, and open up ports which opens up my local network to constant attacks from outside it?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps.

Ugh, but I don't want to buy a Mac mini for those CI builds

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Check out forgejo self hosting gitlab is overkill.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just selfhost bare git repos on an ssh server

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

That’s a perfectly viable approach for users who aren’t interested in forge tooling and just need git push/pull capability.
