kleptonix Hub

For anyone that wants to have a place to collaborate and push some code into, I’ve enabled Gitea and Rocket.Chat as part of an effort to create a self-sustaining programming community.

Instead of hosting your code on GitHub, you can use our Gitea service to directly push code. Why use us over GitHub? Well, Microsoft won’t have access to your code, and you can create private repositories free of charge. I might also look into self-hosted CI/CD tools to have alongside Gitea to create a full pipeline so that you can deploy your code as well.

Rocket.Chat enables you to collaborate with others on projects and also functions as this instance’s chat service. With it, you can talk about Lemmy, kleptonix, or anything else. It’s sort of like a town square for everyone on the instance to chat and hang out.

In the spirit of transparency, everything is hosted on Docker and can be swapped out if you as the community find that you don’t like a particular service. I’ve decided on both of these to start, but can also expand our offerings.

I hope you find these tools useful as a playground, test environment, or even as your main repo.

Thanks.

For everyone new joining in, I wanted to create a welcome post. It's not often when you have users joining your Lemmy instance, so to those of you who've decided on making kleptonix your main instance, thank you. It truly means a lot.

This instance is hosted on my Mac Studio that I have running Nginx Proxy Manager. I've set it up so that the Mac functions as a server. I know, it's overkill (at least at this scale!) but if we see an influx of users I hope that it can keep up.

This instance was previously hosted on AWS but I've decided to bring it into my home since it gives me experience in setting up a server locally as well as being able to have much more capacity ready for users.

I hope you enjoy this instance. Make yourself at home.

Thanks.
