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

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don't want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.

Selfhost

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Check out forgejo self hosting gitlab is overkill.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just selfhost bare git repos on an ssh server

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That’s a perfectly viable approach for users who aren’t interested in forge tooling and just need git push/pull capability.

Ugh, but I don't want to buy a Mac mini for those CI builds

[–] FrustratedArtist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you clarify something about self-hosting for me please. If I want to collaborate with other people on self-hosted a git repo, do I need to have a static IP or a router device that is compatible with services like noip, and open up ports which opens up my local network to constant attacks from outside it?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps.
