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.

Forgejo vs Gitea 🧐? Considering…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd recommend forgejo, it's a fork of gitea and unlike gitea actually a piece of free software. Gitea is developed (and the gitea.io site operated) by Gitea Limited. Whether or not that's a problem is up to you but I'd just like to highlight GitLab's recent move(s) to repeatedly increase subscription/hosting costs by various means as a potential future of Gitea. Forgejo is mainly developed by Codeberg e.V. which is a non-profit so enshittification is somewhat less likely.
