Why do you think it's a pain to host the Gitea?
- chefandy 2y agoCompared to hosting other things? Nothing! It's great. Hosting my own service rather than using a free SaaS solution that is entirely someone else's problem? There's a significant difference there. I've been running Linux servers either professionally or personally for almost 25 years, so it's not like it's a giant problem... but my work has been increasingly non-technical over the past 5 years or so, so even minor hiccups require re-acclimating myself to the requisite constructs and tools (wait, how do cron time patterns work? How do I test a variable in bash for this one-liner? How do iptables rules work again?) It's not a deal breaker, but given the context, it's definitely not not a pain in the ass, either.
