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.
https://forgejo.org/
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!
What does federation do here? Will it sync repos? Or just users and comments?
I imagine users, comments and perhaps pull requests.
It’s coming to Gitlab too! (although, this will take quite some time)
I also recommend forgejo, I’ve been using it for a while for my personal projects and the ui is still beautiful while being a simple git server at the same time.
