Selfhosted

40198 readers

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.

I'll come out with an anti-recommendation: Don't do GitLab.

They used to be quite good, but lately (as in the past two years or so) they've been putting things behind a licensing paywall.

Now if your company wants to pay for GitLab, then maybe consider it? But I'd probably look at some of the other options people have mentioned in this thread.

The company behind GitLab is seeking buyout offers, so make of that what you will.

My employer uses GitLab CE and it's pretty good, and it is FOSS. The EE version is "open core" so not really FOSS.

If I were starting from scratch I'd be looking into Gitea/Forgejo as well.
