[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (6 children) Why forgejo over self-hosted gitlab? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] russjr08@piefed.zip 19 points 10 months ago (3 children) Depending on what your needs and available resources are, GitLab is fairly heavy especially in comparison to Forgejo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 18 points 10 months ago Forgejo is also infinitely easier to run. Its a static go binary that uses an sqlite database. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 child) Fair! Mind you, the question was genuine curiosity. I don't have projects of my own hosted at this time, but I may soon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] russjr08@piefed.zip 2 points 10 months ago No worries at all! I battled with that choice for a while when I was self hosting. I had already been so deep into using GitLab CI that it would've been a pain to migrate to Forgejo Actions, though to be fair when I had setup GitLab the Actions system didn't actually exist yet. And if you plan to expose it to the Internet, GitLab being a much larger project has more potential security issues to keep up with which is another important note. (Though as always when publicly exposing services to the Internet, keep up with patches either way and stay safe!) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Linearity@piefed.zip 8 points 10 months ago Because it’s going to implement federation soon Nobody is going to sign up to your website just to post an issue on one repository. Federation is perfect for software forges. permalink fedilink source parent [–] micka190@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago Maybe I'm just dumb, but I always thought half of GitLab's features were unavailable to self-hosted instances. It's why I just self-host Gitea and Woodpecker instead. permalink fedilink source parent
