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.

What about gitlab? Isn't that the same as GitHub? If not I'll need to see how they are different.

Gitlab isn't really lightweight. It is cool, but not lightweight.

Ahh ok, I know the other team deployed it in our openshift environment so wasn't sure.

Yeah. It needs 3gb ram, now. That's about 1/10th what a Windows VM needs to boot, seemingly, but still large.
