By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

this is what I'm talking about when it comes to the selfhosted communities.

if you don't know how to properly segment and vlan your network, you have no business exposing your shit to the internet.

    While good, network security isnt the issue. Its running a web service with open registration allowing randos to upload content that gets processed by the server.

    Throw this up on a dedicated $5 VPS and you still have a problem. The default should be manual registration by admins.
