It is an alternative for a lot of other reasons and I love it dearly, but Codeberg is literally three donated servers in a single data center with some volunteers maintaining them. Some time ago the power went out and Codeberg was down for seven hours.

Please go ahead and join Codeberg, but manage your expectations.

Still keeps one sigma more uptime than Github tbh.

Self hosted forgejo on-prem HA with cloud mirroring, backups, and failover

Codeberg itself is fine for hobby-grade tho; enterprise needs to start taking ownership of their own shit. Deploying local CI is a buy-once-cry-one pitch and gives you better performance anyways.

Or, use git decentralized; how it was built to be used.

Enterprise is on the same boat we’re all in - you can’t run locally if you can’t afford components

And the Epstein class decided we aren’t allowed to own computers that they don’t control anymore, so they’re building really big ones with agents that monitor us, make sure we don’t find out anything we aren’t supposed to know

Enterprise wastes glorious amounts of money. They can easily afford a flock for 200€/month. They waste that amount of money on a single day when they vibe code.

As a solo dev, working from home, the real reason I use Github is for off site backup.

Back in the SVN days we hosted our own server for a bunch of years, then moved to one of the many paid SVN hosts that existed.

I think I'm going to spin up another VPS and self host Forgejo at this point (or see if I can add it to one of my existing servers).

great thing about git is that you can just set up a gitzillion different repos and push to them

ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 19d

Yeah, for individuals it works best if you host your own locally or use a cloud as you said, then use push mirroring to backup to github or one of the other big forges. Gets you 98% of the utility with minimal cost.

The time was literally 8 years ago, but sure, better late than never.

We thank you dearly for poisoning the well.

Is your code free for others to do whatever the fuck they want to with it? : codeberg

Do you want to put certain restrictions (eg financial)? Gitlab

lemmyng@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 20d

Is your code free of AI-slop? Codeberg.

Is your code a project to be passed around like a slut at an AI-themed orgy with no limits or consent? Github.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 19d (1 reply)

it depends on what you're looking for.

just repository hosting, you can do that anywhere with a server, git --bare init, ssh, and a private key.

social coding? foregejo

personally i love beanstalk; i've been consistently with them since the 2000s; i'll still be with them.

Loving my forgejo. Running my cicd on my own machine? Yes.

Hey. My too cents here. I am building DSCI - self hosted git with ci embedded . Suitable for small teams with limited VPS hosting, features:

general programming languages for ci ( not YAML )
super simple install and maintaining- everything is a single binary ( golang ) , ci jobs run on localhost/podman/docker
no need extra runners / k8s / devops teams - everything is in dev hands through regular programming code - super simple
ci SDK is available for bash/python/perl/raku/php/powershell/golang

It’s still in early development stage , but users can already play with it - here is demo stand - http://dsci.sparrowhub.io/

Documentation is available here - http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/ or GitHub - https://github.com/melezhik/DSCI

It is sad but true. Microsoft is responsible for this. Lets hope it brings some good as people leave.

Maybe federated git with Forgejo is the solution.
