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.

Looking into possibly replacing my GitLab instance, as I find it bloated and heavy on both hardware and maintenance compared to alternatives.

Currently I'm looking at:

  • GitTea
  • Forgejo, as GitTea turned into a for-profit, otherwise that would be the clear choice
  • OneDev

So I'm wondering what the people on here use, and if they have any other suggestions or opinions?

Do you need ci/cd or only git? If just git, gitea or forgejo are super simple.

If you don't need multiple users or a web ui, you could also just use ssh and store git repos on a server somewhere without extra services running:

since 1.19 Gitea supports CI/CD action runners that are compatible with github actions. I have one that generates a static site from the data I store in gitea and publishes it to netlify.

CI/CD, multiple users, container registry, and a web UI are requirements, though not much more which is why I find GitLab to be a bit over the top.

so i just did a quick search and apparently

Starting with Gitea 1.19, Gitea Actions are available as a built-in CI/CD solution.

*edited:

also they support being a package repo, including container registry
