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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Keep in mind if you've pinned your docker-compose.yml as they suggest in the installation guide, you'll want to increment that.

More features that are preparing for full federation support! Exciting!

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago

Can't wait!

What are some benefits of a vcs being federated?

[–] tad_lispy@europe.pub 3 points 2 months ago

I imagine ability to fork, comment, open an issue or a merge (pull) request, do a code review etc from an account on one instance to a project on another. That would enable true decentralisation of software development. It was one of the original promises of Git, but was lost with the emergence of GitHub. With such federated network of forges each developer, or a group working on a project, could run their own server and collaborate with anyone else, without registering accounts on hundreds of services. I'd love that.

Since I just saw this in the self-host weekly post:

Do not upgrade to 13.0.0

Seems like there is a bug and one should use 13.0.1

See here

Good to know, thanks for the PSA.

Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

I know, but I thought it was already too late to simply change the docker image and be done with it. But, you are saying it's still just a drop-in replacement currently?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

Not being run by corporate overlords

Seriously though, the community is a lot healthier

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Actions is significantly better, there are lots of subtle UI improvements, there are new importers, etc. Not a killer feature, but many small improvements that add up.

[–] clb92@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks!

By the way you framed you question sounds like you are looking for an excuse to move away from gitea

[–] sga@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

not really. it is more of, "i am not really motivated enough right now, can you please motivate me a bit?"

[–] clb92@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I meant it more like "I'm concerned if I'm missing out on something huge by still using Gitea."

But if they're still mostly the same, I'll just stick with what I've already set up.

[–] sga@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

as others have said, major thing is federation, which is rolling out. other than that, the are mostly complete.

[–] Banthex@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Update June 2024: this issue is no longer updated. Progress on federation can be followed from:

It’s like, there if you want it, but you totally don’t have to download. No pressure at all!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I’m assuming an upgrade is pretty painless. I guess know what I’m doing at work on Monday.
