First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

Honestly for selfhosters, I can't recommend enough setting up an instance of Gitea. You'll be very happy hosting your code and such there, then just replicate it to github or something if you want it on the big platforms.

Just so you're aware, Gitea was taken over by a for-profit company. Which is why it was forked and Forgejo was formed. If you don't use Github as a matter of principle, then you should switch to Forgejo instead.

Damnit of course it was. Thanks for letting me know, now I'll have to redo my 100+ repos.

If there’s a fork, it’ll probably be an easy migration/in-place upgrade.

[–] lambchop 1 points 9 months ago

My understanding is the fork isn't doing much but waiting to see if gitea turns to shit, pushing all their changes upstream. If you use docker I've heard you can just pull the new image and it simply drops in, no migration needed.

did they get federation working?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nothing usable yet unfortunately, but they seem to be making good progress: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the link! As long as it's being worked on I feel comfortable spinning up an instance. I've been meaning to do gitea for a while so I'm glad I waited.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Oh man, thanks for this. I had no idea, having used gitea for years now.

Thanks for the info

Forgejo for you chap.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised that Gitea is still being recommended on Lemmy, it's been a while since Gitea was acquired and the community has been raging since. Lemmy is regressing

[–] superbirra 14 points 9 months ago

Lemmy is regressing

it is not lol, you are just realising that you are not part of any elite for the simple reason of using it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does it have any features that github doesn't?

[–] Disregard3145 2 points 9 months ago

Its pretty good, for most people there isn't anything missing

Actions can't be triggered by workflow dispatch

Pull requests can't wait for status checks

+1 for Gitea. It's super lightweight, and works really well! I recently switched to Gitlab simply because I wanted experience with hosting it, but Gitea is much lighter and easier to use.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Forgejo please. Gitea was acquired by a for-profit company

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I had no idea what Forgejo was and assumed you were calling me a derogatory term 😂 thanks though, I’ll look into Forgejo next time I need to switch Git platforms
