Selfhosted

39250 readers

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.

We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines.

Specs

Must have

  • hosted on promise
  • reliabile
  • unlikely to be discontinued in the next >5 years
  • for a group of at least 20 people

Plus

  • gui / windows integration

Biggest pain point was for our ops guy, who constantly had to stay behind to perform upgrades and maintenance,

This is weird.

Hosts selected for updates will be unavailable from 2100-2110 or so. Then they're up.

They're done by at/cron if they're selected.

There's no manual work if the monitoring system thinks they're okay.

Gitlab-ce on-prem. Although that may now suck since they're being bought out; and we all know how that went for redhat.

That really depends on who buys them. If it's something like Datadog, maybe that's a good thing and they can compete with Github better. It's probably not great for self-hosters, but it could be a great thing for the commercial software ecosystem.
