The right way to read this list is not “GitHub is unreliable.” Big systems break.
Well, yeah. Which makes them unreliable.
Btw, can we please create a standard for issues & pull requests, independent from platforms, just like plain git?
I’m not sure how that would work without something around git. It would require push rights to your git instance: you’d need to add a bunch of tooling to protect yourself:
- stop people from pushing junk to your server e.g large files, endless while loop that pushes issues filled with random characters or just counting endlessly
- stop people from pushing malicious stuff that can infect you by running the git hook that checks the content
- ensure you have protected branches (again probably a git hook?)
You’d need notifications that somebody has create and issue and PR, or a web interface around git so you can see it.
radicle has made something that works, but it required a gossip protocol to do a lot of work. There’s git-bug, but that also runs into the problem of allowing others access to your git.
A simple standard won’t cut it. There is way more that has to be considered besides a simple file format. That’s exactly why git-forges exist. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but way more difficult than a git forge (IMO).
I did the same. 150 projects self hosted now
How big are these projects? It sounds like a nightmare to maintain or even finish!
If you are a programmer teacher, you could have a dozen of minimal projects that show very simple but complete examples of the libraries or frameworks.
Plus, some people fork all their dependencies in the case that the maintainer rage deletes them for some reason.
Probably NPM packages. I once saw a guy who was super proud that they “maintained” something insane like 500 NPM packages. They had custom tooling to make it possible.
Of course it was all less than worthless.
Same. 2 libraries
I already switched months ago.
Same. radicle, codeberg, gitlab. Once (if?) forgejo gets federation, I bet it’ll lead to a GitHub exodus.
This is the way. If you don’t care that much about CI/actions or already use a non-Github solution for that, it’s even easier.
Yeah. The real challenge with leaving GitHub is the availability of free macOS and Windows build environments (if you’re in to that weird stuff 🧐).
Codeberg only has Linux runners (to my knowledge), but I spent the time to make my project cross-compile to macOS and it was well worth it to move my stuff off of shithub.
With some efgort woodpecker is available. But yeah i wws spoiled on semi free builds. And circle ci builds back in the day.
I build with woodpecker, but you still don’t get hosted macOS and windoesnt runners, do you?
don’t mac/ios runners require an actual mac/ios device ?
I don’t do apple stuff so i’m not sure.
I recall there was a way… But its coming up blank. Im at work so ill try looking it up. It mifht be a custom thing i set up years ago…or just an old intel mac with tools setup.
I got into programming within the last couple years and Codeberg was my first choice for a public git repository. I’m glad I made that decision back then.
I keep a clone of my Codeberg repo’s on my server simply using
Caddy’s built in file server. Unless someone takes interest in the projects I’m working on, I don’t really feel like hosting an instance of Forgejo myself. At the very least the code and git history is still available directly from my server and that makes me happy enough.
