Questions about selfhosting Git, and making some small scratch on the side. (lemmy.world)

Basically, what the title says. I'm a C, C+, C# ... Basically, a C languages dev. Work on Video Games mostly, but I like doing other projects as well. Working on some larger ones like in Unreal and Godot that need some big boy space / CI time so I've set off on a small self hosting journey.

Got Nginx set up with Gitea at the moment, but am open to Gitlab, etc.

I was wondering if it's easy to setup these services for LFS space / CI runtime rental for a few buddies of mine just to handle management and potential rental costs depending on how far that goes.

I'm also wondering if Gitea or GitLab would be better for an endeavor like this? And I realize I wouldn't make a huge profit or anything, this would mostly be to mitigate maintenance costs and give my buddies some good deals on CI run time for Unreal or Godot Exports.

If you don't have a uniform infrastructure, nobody will want to use your spare compute you have lying around.

Every hosted solution already has free tiers and free CI runners, so the question is why would they pay you for the privilege?

And that's a fair question. I'm also considering renting a VPS for this, so shouldn't be too bad on the infrastructure part. And it'd mostly be a few buddies and myself using this.

Even if it doesn't work out for me, hopefully this thread can be informative for others as well :)
