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.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Git is already a distributed version control system.

But it doesn't have any built-in concept of users, write permissions, or authentication (except for commit signing)

Hosting an unauthenticated git repo would be the equivalent to an open ssh port with no password required

Not to mention collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve "federation" by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn't suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it's distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

Well but distributed != federated. Which is why Forgejo is currently working on a federation feature.
