First, they restricted code search without logging in so I’m using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

Honestly for selfhosters, I can’t recommend enough setting up an instance of Gitea. You’ll be very happy hosting your code and such there, then just replicate it to github or something if you want it on the big platforms.

Just so you’re aware, Gitea was taken over by a for-profit company. Which is why it was forked and Forgejo was formed. If you don’t use Github as a matter of principle, then you should switch to Forgejo instead.

Damnit of course it was. Thanks for letting me know, now I’ll have to redo my 100+ repos.

Changing the remote should be fairly trivial with enough bash skills

If there’s a fork, it’ll probably be an easy migration/in-place upgrade.

My understanding is the fork isn’t doing much but waiting to see if gitea turns to shit, pushing all their changes upstream. If you use docker I’ve heard you can just pull the new image and it simply drops in, no migration needed.

Nothing usable yet unfortunately, but they seem to be making good progress: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

Forgejo for you chap.

Honestly I’m kind of surprised that Gitea is still being recommended on Lemmy, it’s been a while since Gitea was acquired and the community has been raging since. Lemmy is regressing

Lemmy is regressing

it is not lol, you are just realising that you are not part of any elite for the simple reason of using it

+1 for Gitea. It’s super lightweight, and works really well! I recently switched to Gitlab simply because I wanted experience with hosting it, but Gitea is much lighter and easier to use.

I had no idea what Forgejo was and assumed you were calling me a derogatory term 😂 thanks though, I’ll look into Forgejo next time I need to switch Git platforms
