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'm all for foss but foss shall not be a reason to stay behind. We've got enough money to pay for it. We just can't host it anywhere. We have to selfhost it. If there's a good reason to use gitlab over forgejo, we will use gitlab.

Gitlab's main advantage is the tight integration with CI/CD and a web based IDE. But it has some annoying limitations in the non-enterprise version.

Forgejo is great, but it comes with only community support.

You can get commercial support from the Gitea project (from which Forgejo forked off), but if that is something important for you, Gitlab has probably also better commercial support structures in place.

Money is not an issue. We're happy to pay for everything. I'll talk to the others in the next round to get to a conclusion.

Yeah, for the integrated CI/CD, give GitLab a shot - it saves on spinning up a Jenkins or ConcourseCI server.

CI/CD can be useful for triggering automation after merge requests are approved, building infrastructure from code, etc.
