just dropped a new post 🍵
went full nerd mode on self-hosting git — starting from bare repos & SSH, through gitolite, all the way to a full gitea install on alpine linux 🏔️
also roasted gitlab (lovingly), compared gitea vs forgejo vs gogs vs the whole gang
spoiler: gitea won. it's written in go. you already know.

@devsimsek @metin Nice article! I agree that Gitea is currently the best choice for a private git server. I've been running my own Gitea instance for over six years with no issues at all. Gitea also has good funding, so it's probably not going to die any time soon. I see this as a plus, unlike the creators of Forgejo...

@daniel @metin exactly, while I don't like the profits first approach; gitea is something different.

@devsimsek @metin Exactly! It's similar to Nextcloud and not OwnCloud, so that the community benefits 👍
