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.

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

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

Codeberg is supporting forgejo which Codeberg is built on. Forgejo is ActivityPub powered git repositories. So imagine regular git, but everyone can have their own repos on their own sites and you can still interact with each other. So yes, Codeberg is centealized FOR NOW. But they're working on opening it up to EVERYONE to run their own and be able to access all the repos you use over the Fediverse.

Will it be possible to have decentralized pull requests? Like I open a PR on my site, my friend reviews my PR on his site, and I get his reviews on my site?

This was always baked into basic git from the beginning if you review your code in E-Mail chains or mailing lists.

So not really baked in at all then?

That's the plan, but it's still far away

That sounds like the dream.

Just like bluesky is centralised "for now" i.e. forever

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago

Except bluesky is funded by VC and they created their own protocol and federation design.

Codeberg is an open source repo only place, they're building in AP, they have monthly updates. So nothing like Bluesky.

But I understand the trepidation.
