Folks,
I’m looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.
My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there’s a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I’m not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don’t know why I need this.
What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?
Have a look at Forgejo which is a soft fork run by a nonprofit organization of Gitea which is owned by a for-profit company.
It need very little system resources and still gives you all the common features you know from commercial Git hosting providers.
And yes, you can mirror existing Git repos using a web UI.
I also recommend forgejo. They are also working on adding a federation feature to forgejo just like Lemmy has!
It’s coming to Gitlab too! (although, this will take quite some time)
What does federation do here? Will it sync repos? Or just users and comments?
And forgejo runner is basically github actions, I just started automating a lot of my personal projects. (it’s in alpha state, but my basic actions haven’t had any problems)
