So Gitlab
Gitlab takes way more RAM to run the docker container than i want. If this is lighter, that sounds nice. And im using only the most basic functionality, so wont be much loss to me if it cant do whatever fancy stuff.
How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.
Or
, with, you know, federation?
Installed Gogs but will switch the this FOSS version tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
Gitea is in same lightweight category.
Gitea is a fork of gogs. Forgejo is a forge of Gitea too. I would suggest/use Forgejo.
well, shit, it looks like that is indeed what I want! setting it up now, thanks!
Also hosted on… GitHub! 😀
Many years ago I ran my own Gogs and it was pretty good, would recommend
Gitea?
Fair. Competition is also good.
Especially if it's a competition to Microsoft.
I love Gitlab as a git hosting platform. I like that it is open source. My problem is they're pricing plan forced me to move to GitHub. I don't use their DevOps stuff so paying even 19$/month per user for a lot of features I don't need sucks, and hosting it my own is a headache I don't want to deal with because we're not that big. GitHub isn't a choice I make out of preference for my private commercial projects... Jetbrains space even though it is nice isn't best for me because even though it has git hosting it has a lot of other stuff that I don't want yet again, I work with all kinds of people, non technical as well and it makes no sense yet again. I also use tools or platforms that don't integrate with git directly but with GitHub or GitLab... which fucking sucks honestly... also look at netlify... you need an ENTERPRISE plan to connect to a self-manget Gitlab repo. Like the shit these platforms are pulling IS UNBELIEVABLE. AndGiitness looks to be a commercial product, so clearly they'll also be pushing and spending money to make sure other platforms work with them and only thing that matters is the features they add and their pricing plan... I hope they become a good competitor to these big Git hosting platforms and a viable alternative.
As much as Git should have been a decentralized solution that is free and open to be used by anyone because we're not using Git in a vacuum but with a lot of other external tools and platforms, because of how tools and platforms are built we actually end up in a very centralized and controlled status quo. ://////// it fucking sucks.
Please point out where I am wrong and come up with your own ideas and solutions. I am really curious.
