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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

If you don't want to host something yourself, check codeberg

I like codeberg and have no plans on migrating away from it, but their codeberg Pages product is...weak to say the least. There's very frequent downtime. I had multiple users reach out to me letting me know my site was down... embarrassing. I set up kuma uptime checks on it, and now I see when the outages happen.

Forget "four 9's" or anything close to that....my 30 day uptime is a measley 91%...

They communicate that openly tho:

Regular maintenance window: We're meeting every Tuesday starting 18.00 Berlin time (currently 17.00 UTC), lasting up to 8 hours. While we announce large scheduled downtimes in advance, there might be minor interruptions due to maintenance work happening during the meeting. Please be patient in this case.

Not sure if that's also for the Pages feature, but in general having a weekly 8hr maintenance window is not optimal.

Github seems to be down a lot, too, although perhaps not their pages part. Perhaps you could try to have just the pages in some other place?

Thats rough. Check out https://grebedoc.dev/ I believe codeberg itself also wants to migrate to that as well, I cant tell you how reliable it is though (I am using hetzner managed for 1.90€/m) is but I dig its simplicity.
