GitHub's UI is far superior, for one. You're also placing your code in an ecosystem of other OSS projects, which I believe is a good thing.
Also, GitHub private repositories for an individual are far cheaper than running a H/A GitLab on DO, AWS, Linode, or any provider worth mentioning. By definition of running a H/A solution on DO's cheapest offering, you're paying $15/month for three VMs, and we haven't started talking about backups yet.
It's not worth it at all.
- bdcravens 9y agoMany of the same arguments could made for using Medium instead of running your own blog software.
- movedx 9y agoI never said I was against Medium ;) I'm against self hosting when it makes no sense to do so, and only because I've seen people get burnt by the process and I don't want to the same to happen to you. I'm probably capable, but many aren't. Legal or regulatory reasons are the only reasons I can think of that might force your hand in to self-hosting.
