Have you ever had your code repository hosted by Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab or similar? If so, all your code is sent to cloud.

- amelius 2y agoAnswer: yes, some code. But other code I and my company like to keep private.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoWhere exactly is the repo hosted if there is one?
- _heimdall 2y agoThere are alternatives out there for self-hosted git. I have a Gitea instance running on a mini PC at home for my own projects.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoDo you have backups of that as well? If something were to happen to your mini pc would you lose your code?
- _heimdall 2y agoGreat question, yeah I do. Right now it backs up to a separate NAS on my home network. Every once in a while I'll copy the most important directories onto a microSD card backup, but its usually going to be at least a few weeks out of date.
- amelius 2y agoOwn servers.
- cesarb 2y agoIt's common for companies to have something like self-hosted GitHub Enterprise or self-hosted GitLab hidden behind the company's VPN.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoBut where is the box where it's hosted? Is it in-house?
- red_admiral 2y agoInternally hosted gitlab instances are a thing.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoThey are, but frequently the boxes where they are hosted are in AWS or similar. Or do frequently companies have actual in house servers for this purpose?
- red_admiral 2y agoNot in house, but in a "segmented" part of the cloud that comes with service level agreements and access control and restrictions on which countries the data can be hosted in and compliance procedures etc. etc. An extreme example of this would be the AWS GovCloud for government/military applications.
