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 was aware of forgejo back when I first started hosting Gitea. Didn't see much of a diff back then so I just went with arguably more popular option at that time.

About few months after it's mostly just because I'm too lazy of a person.

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea. As of now I don't think they have diverged much. So they're (still) about the same. It was mainly created because of the takeover of the domain and trademark by a for profit company. Not because of different functionality.

Yes this is a great idea, this had happened to tons of different projects. Always stick with the foss option
