Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I am, indeed, a developer. I might try locally hosting Gitea/Forgejo as an extra backup. I assume you can have multiple “origins” in git, right? That means I can back my repository to both codeberg and server.
Grist seems pretty cool too.
Absolutely! I have used multiple origins for posting my projects to Gitea/Forgejo and GitHub. You can also mirror repositories from one site to another, too, although it requires a clean slate for pulling from another remote.
The biggest use case for me is documenting (as code) my home network setup on my private forge.
Should I get Gitea or Forgejo? Forgejo seems to be a more free/libre fork of Gitea, the latter of which is influenced by a for-profit company. Is Forgejo functionally equivalent to Gitea, and if not, what are the differences? If they are basically the same I would probably go with Forgejo over Gitea. Is Forgejo's documentation and setup similar, better, or worse than Gitea?
To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn't: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.
I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.
I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.
I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I'm at home and the forgejo when I'm not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.
