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.

We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines.

Specs

Must have

  • hosted on promise
  • reliabile
  • unlikely to be discontinued in the next >5 years
  • for a group of at least 20 people

Plus

  • gui / windows integration

At work we selfhost gitlab (paid) and I'm checking gitea for my own projects. They have a good comparison table at https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison

Do you also need CI/CD?

Also working in a small team with Gitea. Pretty solid the last few years.

Same. Really happy with it.

Is there a reason to choose gitlab over gitea?

We do not need ci/cd

If you don't need CI/CD I don't see any reasons to choose Gitlab over gitea. But I'm still testing gitea so take my words with a grain of salt :)

Gitea also has excellent CI support with builtin compatibility with github

If you don't need CI/CD I'm not sure why you need a centralized frontend at all. Git itself is distributed and you can setup any code flow you can think of. It has hooks that can be used to set up code quality checks on select branches. There are local history browser apps for every platform and IDE plugins.

A frontend is no substitute for developer communication — usually what the "PR" thing does is sugarcoat the fact the devs don't know how to use Git and/or don't talk to each other.
