    Self hosted forgejo on-prem HA with cloud mirroring, backups, and failover

    Codeberg itself is fine for hobby-grade tho; enterprise needs to start taking ownership of their own shit. Deploying local CI is a buy-once-cry-one pitch and gives you better performance anyways.

    Or, use git decentralized; how it was built to be used.

    Enterprise is on the same boat we’re all in - you can’t run locally if you can’t afford components

    And the Epstein class decided we aren’t allowed to own computers that they don’t control anymore, so they’re building really big ones with agents that monitor us, make sure we don’t find out anything we aren’t supposed to know

    As a solo dev, working from home, the real reason I use Github is for off site backup.

    Back in the SVN days we hosted our own server for a bunch of years, then moved to one of the many paid SVN hosts that existed.

    I think I'm going to spin up another VPS and self host Forgejo at this point (or see if I can add it to one of my existing servers).

    ... isn't an alternative if you're looking for availability.

    It is an alternative for a lot of other reasons and I love it dearly, but Codeberg is literally three donated servers in a single data center with some volunteers maintaining them. Some time ago the power went out and Codeberg was down for seven hours.

    Please go ahead and join Codeberg, but manage your expectations.
