Hello,

Is there a good place to host a little FOSS project elsewhere than github?

I’d especially like an open source community.

Cheers

    Be the cool kid on the block and start hosting your own forgejo instance.

    Did Azure DevOps (yuck), did GitHub (meh) now very happy with forgejo.

      Still kinda trying to figure out how forgejo is any different from gitea

      People seem to forget how much time and energy self hosting needs. Especially for code, I would want some redundancy, backups and security. Yet another server you have to take care off. I‘d recommend to stick to codeberg, even though forgejo looks very good.

        I totally agree, but this depends. It helps if you have backups already in place, if a few additional containers or VM’s won’t matter much etc.

        Running forgejo and runners took me way less effort than properly setting up sendmail for instance.

        It all depends on skills, resources etc. Everyone needs to make these decisions themselves.

          My brother in *nix, while I agree with your conclusion, that bar is so low you can’t use it for limbo.

            Well, early '90s and pretty much without any documentation apart from the source it was quite a struggle.

      I can confirm, forgejo is a good, very lightweight git server you can run on an rpi with room to spare. I’m running with postgresql as backend on the same rpi, mariadb is an option as well.

      When you don’t want to selfhost, gitlab is independant and EU (NL?) based, bitbucket is from atlasian (US?) and is also an option.

    My go-to right now is GitLab, I even run an instance.

    Another one that has caught my attention was onedev.
