Most of these aren't an issue if you're self-hosting in the cloud though. You can cheap VPS for a couple of $ a month.

- EchelonFuxMe 8y agoCan't afford it. $1 goes a long way here.
- Yetanfou 8y agoNot everyone will need to self-host, it is still possible to host your projects at someone else's instance. If you live in a place where $1 is a lot of money (where is this by the way?) you could either share a server with others who each chip in their $0.10 or just find an open instance somewhere. There are plenty of organisations which host services like these, Github is the best-known but by no means the only alternative.
- GrayShade 8y agoHave you tried running GitLab on a $3 VPS?
- Yetanfou 8y agoGitlab, no. Gogs [1] or Gitea [2], no problem. I run Gitea on an Intel SS4200 (2.4 GHz Pentium E2200, 2 GB, 8 TB JBOD), it hardly causes a blip on this rather anaemic system. The process generally takes up around 35 MB (RSS), it talks to a PostgreSQL database server on the same box. You would not want to run a service the size of Github on this but for a personal repository it is more than enough. If your projects get so popular that they outgrow the hardware or VPS just move to a higher tier. [1] https://gogs.io/ https://gogs.io/ [2] https://gitea.io/ https://gitea.io/
- wongmjane 8y agoGitLab does not recommend hosting it in such a low-spec [1]. Would love to see if such setup is still feasible, though. [1] https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html#memory https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html#memory
- sigjuice 8y agoFor personal projects I find it sufficient to simply have a VPS (or even just a shell account) that I can ssh into.
