Selfhosted

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

This reads almost like a parody.

The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github's troubles: "We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it's own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that's where we wanna be!"

This is why we built and released the Duo Agent Platform in January. Our first quarter adoption is promising, and we're ready to accelerate.

This is so weird. They gave a Duo presentation at our company and I was a bit second hand embarrassed because it's just bad.

Anyway, the stock price will probably go up after this announcement...

Some examples of the mindset we expect every team member to embody:

  • I take pride in my work because it delivers real outcomes

fucking drones

I care deeply for the customer and the business health

Sure bud

Ok what are we going to call them now? Gitslop? Sloplab?

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Forget they exist and don’t call them anything.

All I see is layoffs and creating office space to force people to go to office. Well RIP Gitlab.

For fucks sake... Is Sourcehut ok for private projects?

[–] tx0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

I've also been using sourcehut for a few things for a number of years. Haven't had any trouble. You do need to pay a small amount per month for an account, but I don't mind throwing a few bucks to support an indie project like tbis.

I have been using sourcehut for mercurial private projects for about half a year without any issues. Also have some a couple of public repos which I develop in Mercurial and then mirror to Codeberg. Only issue I find with sourcehut is that they don't produce files for users to download. So, if someone wanted something from your repo and they don't have git / mercurial they would be unable to get the files.

An almost inevitable result of venture capital, IMHO.

Gitlab and gitlab-ci really are great and easy to support with little problems as long as you update regularly. It really does look cringe, but they always were chasing current dumb thing relentlesly.

[–] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 9 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I like them as well, it's what we use at work. The article doesn't leave me optimistic though
