Yeah, I’m actually doing that with Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ Some people went with the forgejo fork: https://forgejo.org/ though Gitea itself was a fork of Gogs, if I remember correctly: https://gogs.io/ I also ran GitLab in the past: https://about.gitlab.com/ but keeping it updated and giving it enough resources for it to be happy was troublesome. There’s also GitBucket: https://gitbucket.github.io/ and…

> Gitea but the other one Wouldn’t that also be Gogs? https://gogs.io/ I remember when that one was what a lot of people were looking into, before the Gitea fork happened. It’s odd to see how this has happened yet again, but I guess is a good thing that it’s even possible in the first place, if there are indeed differing values and goals?

This reminds me of Gogs [0], where the original author refused a lot of good ideas and improvements, eventually leading to a fork [1] that’s now a lot more popular and active than the original. [0] https://gogs.io/ [1] https://gitea.io/en-us/.

There’s a number of places out there, some of which also support alternatives to Git itself. By no means a complete list and in no particular order: GitLab – https://about.gitlab.com/ Sourcehut – https://sourcehut.org/ Codeberg – https://codeberg.org/ Launchpad – https://launchpad.net/ Debian Salsa – https://salsa.debian.org/public Pagure – https://pagure.io/pagure For self hsoted options, there’s these below…

GitHub is Microsoft’s privately owned service that provides hosting and other features for Git repositories. There are other services which provide comparable services: GitLab, BitBucket.. You can also self-host such a service (Gogs, Gitea..).

Gogs says it works on Pi. I’ve used it for a few clients that requested self-hosted repos and it’s very nice.

There was no drama as far as I recall, just complaints that he wasn’t agile enough or something like that. The different project is Gogs https://gogs.io/ and its author is Joe Chen (‘unknwon:).

I don’t know if anyone remembers but Gitea is a fork of https://gogs.io/. If I’ve understood correctly they forked because the feeling was that Gogs wasn’t a true open source project.

I found Gitlab a bit of a pain to configure, and went instead for a simple docker solution with: GoGs.

My experience with GitLab is that they accelerated very quickly in the beginning with a focus on new features. This made the whole ecosystem incredibly slow, and it’s unbearable for me to run as a service on my own hardware / cloud accounts. I guess that’s the problem with these open source services that also rely on paid platform income. I have tested out https://gogs.io/ and the difference in speed is just…

> I tend to install FOSS because imo they are more “future-proof”, but some of them are developed by companies (e.g., Fedora Linux) and that makes me wonder if they’re truly future-proof. The story of CentOS should be telling that, no, many pieces of software that are backed by a company will not be future-proof and will probably experience certain changes as a consequence of that, be it being transformed to…

Gitea or Gogs would work. You can set up users in both.

Gogs maybe? https://gogs.io/ Not sure if that’s exactly what you’re looking for. No idea if you can use it in docker. I used gogs for about a year and a half with zero problems.
