Github fediverse alternative (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like).

I want people to be able to open issues, PRs, comment, fork or star without having to create an account on my server. Is there anything like that?

I saw radicle.xyz but I am not sure if that is what I want. Basically a lightweight git+ActivityPub + web frontend is what I am looking for. I think. No CI/CD or other fancy features required.

AFAIK it’s a planned feature for Forgejo

[–] eodur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the protocol is called ForgeFed and from what I recall it will be added to Forgejo, then ported upstream to Gitea. Supposedly GitLab has commented on adopting it in the future as well.

[–] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gitea is looking into joining ActivityPub as the core framework is called.

[–] pirofti@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 1 year ago

Is it not a big no-no to use Gitea now since the commercial takeover? From what I understand, Forgejo is the safe option and I am glad to hear from the other comments that it is getting support for that through ForgeFed!

I think a federated version control system makes so much sense and I hope it will break open GitHub's (nearly) monopoly.

[–] pirofti@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Completely agree! Please note that git itself is federated, well distributed, it's the rest of the stuff on top that needs to be fixed.

I know we're using codeberg for kbin.social

It's been a pretty decent experience so far, similar to GitHub but a little more basic. The markdown editor is my biggest gripe so far, it has weird backspace handling on mobile

[–] thejoker8814@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Codeberg is using Forgejo, basically Gitea. You can change the editor, if you like with other editors if you host Forgejo or Gitea yourself. Features like CI/CD can be deactivated.
