Selfhosted

59142 readers

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?

The protocol extension is ForgeFed and it’s still a work in progress afaik

The issue tracker is on Codeberg.

Forgejo is only one of the implementations and not the reference implementation.

It will also be more general:

  • general VCS repo support and not just git
  • patch tracker (merge requests)
  • ticket tracker (issues)
  • release tracker
  • separation of repo and trackers, which allows for them to be on different instances and have specialized implementations
  • roadmap and workflow for issues and MR
