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.

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

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?

I'm out of luck, it seems, since I'm already running Gitea 1.24.6.

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