At this point, GitHub outages feel closer to cloud provider outages than a SaaS blip. Curious how many people here still run self-hosted Git (GitLab / Gitea) vs fully outsourcing version control.
- betaby 8mo agoSelf hosted GitLab is absolutely worth it.
- sam_lowry_ 8mo agoSelf-hosted git is absolutely worth it.
- monkaiju 8mo agoor forgejo!
- zhouzhao 8mo agoYeah man. Forgejo (albeit it being a weird name from a language that nobody wants to use), is doing very well in my homelab. When I worked at the univerity we used Gitea. Every job outside of univerity I had used Gitlab self hosted. While I don't like the UI or any aspect of Gitlab a lot, it gets the job done.
- zer00eyz 8mo agoI use Gitea already... I haven't seen Forejo before today. Im now curious if it is worth the switch.
- terminalbraid 8mo agoForejo was originally forked from Gitea
- DeepYogurt 8mo agoForgejo should 100% be people's default for self hosting
- edverma2 8mo agoI was just looking into this today but it seems pricey. $29/user/month for basic features like codeowners and defining pr approval requirements. Going with Forgejo.
- 1f60c 8mo agoWait, what? So you're on the hook for backups, upgrades, etc. and you have to pay them for the privilege? I thought GitLab was free as in speech and beer.
- cyberax 8mo agoIt's an Open Core model. You can deploy the free version, but it lacks some pretty important features like SSO. But that $30 per month per user is also the cost for their cloud-hosted version. It also includes quite a bit of CI/CD runtime.

- rcakebread 8mo agoForgejo isn't comparable.
- vampiregrey 8mo agoI think i will slowly start moving to self hosted git intra at my homelab.
- blibble 8mo agoforgejo doesn't need half a supercomputer to run it

- neilv 8mo agoYay for GitLab and Forgejo/Gitea. My previous two startups used GitLab successfully. The smaller startup used paid-tier hosted by gitlab.com. The bigger startup (with strategic cutting-edge IP, and multinational security sensitivity) used the expensive on-prem enterprise GitLab. (The latter startup, I spent some principal engineer political capital to move us to GitLab, after our software team was crippled by the Microsoft Azure-branded thing that non-software people had purchased by default. It helped that GitLab had a testimonial from Nvidia, since we were also in the AI hardware space.) If you prefer to use fully open source, or have $0 budget, there's also Forgejo (forked from Gitea). I'm using it for my current one-person side-startup, and it's mostly as good as GitLab for Git, issues, boards, and wiki. The "scoped" issue labels, which I use heavily, are standard in Foregejo, but paid-tier in GitLab. I haven't yet exercised the CI features.
- vampiregrey 8mo agoI just checked out Forgejo. I think i start with it, looks clean and lightweight. For my homelab I don’t have very large requirements. Might be a good starting point for me.
- arthur-st 8mo agoSelf-hosted Gitea is a good time if you're comfortable taking care of backups and other self-hosting stuff.
- yoyohello13 8mo agoWe self-host the full fat version of GitLab and it's very worth it.
