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.

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

I can vouch for Forgejo

https://forgejo.org/

Easy to set up, has a website GUI like Github/GitLab you can use git GUIs with it

https://codeberg.org runs on Forgejo

I’ve been looking at gitea because of its gitops capabilities that seem to be pretty much on par with github actions. Do you know if forgejo has something similar? There seems to be a lack of documentation in that area. This has been my only reason for not moving to forgejo but im hoping im wrong and just missed some documentation.

EDIT: Thank you all who provided some additional insights that I was missing. I'll take the leap and give forgejo a try!

There are forejo runners and they seem compatible with a bunch of github actions. I created one that builds a docker image and publishes it on the repo.

Edit; here is some documentation on it

Forgejo actions is basically GitHub actions. The difference in my ci scripts is a single line and you can even use GitHub action templates or whatever they're called.

You just need to add some runners to your server, which is pretty easily doable by just using some docker container and deploying that multiple times

Forgejo actions is basically GitHub actions

That's the problem. GH actions su-huck.

In what way? Works for me

Forgejo is a fork of gitea, and it only became a hard fork earlier this year, so if gitea does something, forgejo probably does it as well.
