What are these plentiful alternatives? SourceHut also comes with “personal baggage”.


Just host your own git server, it's an afternoon project. Use other forges as mirrors.


Forgejo is pretty crazy easy to setup if you have a server with some storage already. It can be set to lock out people by default


I have been self-hosting Gitea since long before Forgejo existed, but I understood the parent to be talking about third-party hosting with a FOSS community around it.


No one's guaranteed to third-party hosting or communities. The software is there. Host it.

If no third-party or community wants to take you in, then I suppose you're going to have to start one for like-minded people. If there aren't any, then I suppose you've lost the marketplace of ideas.

Isn't that how this is supposed to work?


Gitea is china-ware that doesn’t share values with most FOSS.


if you have ssh access to a server, setup is as easy as

    ssh user@host
    mkdir myproject
    git init --bare myproject
Done.

The remote URL is user@host:myproject (relative to user home dir) or user@host:/home/user/myproject (absolute path)


That works for private repositories, but public facing ones require a little more than that.


  docker run data.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner:12 forgejo-runner
I thought this was supposed to be a site for hackers? Apply some Hacker Nature to the problem.

Is there a another platform with more users/better quality users?


lobste.rs

Hn without the VC taint



There is Radicle for completely distributed hosting.


It really is a shame Drew is so opinionated and dogmatic.

I like most of his work, but his politics make Source Hut too shaky of a foundation to build on.


Amuses me that Codeberg and Sourcehut have the same naming scheme. What's next - SLoCbarn? Header Haven? Function City?


Repohaus


ssh server git init --bare repo.git && git clone server:repo.git
