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.

  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.

Folks,

I'm looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there's a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I'm not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don't know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?

I'm using GItea and it's been working great. Very easy to set up in docker.

Why instead of gitea though? I thought the “for profit” stuff was only to provide the original developers of gitea the ability to provide paid support to commercial clients.

Heh, I was running linux with docker on top of Trunas for several months because of Jellyfin was not available to run in jail. I was not happy because it wasted the server resources and also my resources to maintain it. I don’t want go such way again.
Happy running gitea in jail and when forgejo will be also available in jail I will probably move to its.
