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.

Isn't this a spin-off of gogs?

I still need to convert.

Skip it and go right to forgejo : it's the current tip of the iceberg.

The majority of maintainers stayed with Gitea. Forgejo is not the tip, they still pull the majority of their commit from gitea directly.

Maybe, depends on the migration path. Gitea proved impossible to migrate to.

Could you not just push a git repo?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It was even easier. I'm over on forgejo, works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but then I'd have to remove gogs 1st after exporting everything. It's not a lot of data, but loads of repos. For me there was no reason to migrate (yet).

Apparently. When I wound up choosing Gitea for my own purposes, I don't recall even learning about Gogs somehow.

I picked gogs before I knew about the gitea fork. (Maybe even before the fork)
