What is disroot.org?
-
Disroot is a platform providing online services based on principles of freedom, privacy, federation and decentralization.
They offer email and other services
-
Nice to see a non big corporate alternative.

And they're set in the Netherlands!

Anyone know of projects getting good traction on codeberg? I reeeeaaally want it to be a success, but github seems to have a bit or a grip on the open source software community which makes anything else have an annoying hurdle for open source projects.
-
Do you have a good tutorial on how to set up CI/CD on forgejo?
-
The concentration of open source projects around proprietary services has always bugged me, glad people are making action.
-
Could someone explain disroot & forgejo for me?
-
Do they support some kind of CI/CD? Or is there maybe an external free service that can be recommended? It’s pretty much just for building some docker images or compiling a static site.

How bad is GitLab (selfhosted) in this context?
It's developed by an american company.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitLab_Inc.
It's open source, open source is global. Doesn't matter where the main dev is from if it's self hosted.
Forgejo is a hard fork of gitea that occured after the leadership took private control of the logo and branding, started developing proprietary add-ons, and building a business around it.
Forgejo is developed under Codeberg e.v. which is a German non-profit.
I think it's still a drop-in replacement for gitea.
By what I usually read it's really hard to keep it running since gitlab takes a lot of resources. Go with it if you have the hardware and human resources to maintain it. I used gitlab hosted on premises in a company I worked at some years ago, it was nice, but I was just using it, not the poor infrastructure guy.
I already have one, and apart from some clashes with Arch's usual file hierarchy, it was smooth. But I just noticed that dinkleberg.org is ... was available, and I think it would be worth it to set up a forgejo instance, as a comedic pendant to the official codeberg.org instance, and to see which one works better in the end. But at last, once they fully implement federation, I'll switch fully. Arch has a wiki page and a packaged version ready anyway, and it can use my already set up postgres, so just more of a reason to look into it further.
