How bad is GitLab (selfhosted) in this context?

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's developed by an american company.

It's open source, open source is global. Doesn't matter where the main dev is from if it's self hosted.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

By what I usually read it's really hard to keep it running since gitlab takes a lot of resources. Go with it if you have the hardware and human resources to maintain it. I used gitlab hosted on premises in a company I worked at some years ago, it was nice, but I was just using it, not the poor infrastructure guy.

I already have one, and apart from some clashes with Arch's usual file hierarchy, it was smooth. But I just noticed that dinkleberg.org is ... was available, and I think it would be worth it to set up a forgejo instance, as a comedic pendant to the official codeberg.org instance, and to see which one works better in the end. But at last, once they fully implement federation, I'll switch fully. Arch has a wiki page and a packaged version ready anyway, and it can use my already set up postgres, so just more of a reason to look into it further.

Gitlab was founded in Europe, employs developers from all over the world, but has gone to the American stock exchange.

I think the open source, self hosted version should be fine. After all, you're not buying anything if you're just using the free version.

If you buy official support, for a company for instance, I'd look for European alternatives.

Anyone know of projects getting good traction on codeberg? I reeeeaaally want it to be a success, but github seems to have a bit or a grip on the open source software community which makes anything else have an annoying hurdle for open source projects.

What is disroot.org?

[-] Blaze@feddit.nl 10 points 4 months ago

Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.

They offer email and other services

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Nice to see a non big corporate alternative.

And they're set in the Netherlands!

Do you have a good tutorial on how to set up CI/CD on forgejo?

[-] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

The concentration of open source projects around proprietary services has always bugged me, glad people are making action.

[-] letzlo@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

Do they support some kind of CI/CD? Or is there maybe an external free service that can be recommended? It’s pretty much just for building some docker images or compiling a static site.

[-] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 6 points 4 months ago

The platform itself does, but you're not getting free compute as easily as with the American alternatives. You'll have to hook up your own server(s) if you want to enable whatever pipelines you prefer.

Could someone explain disroot & forgejo for me?
