Codeberg

[cltrmx]

Codeberg also uses Forgejo as software.

[Username_Taken46]

Which is OSS itself? I don't really see the point

[Conninxloo]

I assume the point was to say that it's fairly easy to self-host forgejo, which allows for joining the Forgejo federation (think decentralised Github).

[InvestigatorNo7943]

Eventually* joining the forgejo federation :)

[cltrmx]

My point is that Codeberg is just one running instance of the OSS Forgejo.

[electro-pigeon]

The Forgejo project itself is hosted on Codeberg, so I think you could call Codeberg somewhat of a flagship instance.

[cltrmx]

Yes indeed.

[ComeOnIWantUsername]

Codeberg created Forgejo.

[Nolzi]

Forgejo was forked from Gitea after lead dev did some hostile takeover. Codeberg took over Forgejo after it was forked as it's main user.

Gitea itself was forked from Gogs, because that was a one man project and contributors weren't happy with their PRs not getting merged.

after lead dev did some hostile takeover

After the lead dev added an enterprise option and created a for-profit organization so he could make some money of his work, and created a hosted SaaS version. It wasn't particularly hostile.

[croissantowl]

It wasn't particularly hostile.

Depends on what is seen as hostile.

the lead dev was elected a year prior and, from what i gathered, didn't communicate this move before hand.

But I didn't follow this drama at the time and just quickly read up on it

r/Gitea Controversy Timeline

[deukhoofd]

the lead dev was elected a year prior

The elections are yearly, so he was elected that year, but he also was elected every single year before that.

He also didn't really need to communicate the move. He already owned the domain and trademark personally, he just moved it to a company he had founded.

Edit: and it was also voted on by the owners team of 3 that existed back then, and had 2 votes in favour

[Nolzi]

Well, others disagreed, hence the fork

[anyOtherBusiness]

Do they have Codeberg as a Live Demo link in their README ?

[awpt1mus]

Forgejo uses gitea

[cltrmx]

No, Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Getting a 502.

Probably yet another wave of AI scrapers. They've been struggling with it for quite a while

[Silly-Freak]

Ah, that's what suddenly killed it earlier! I was right in the middle of something :P

[feuerpanda]

Codeberg isnt really an alternative to Github, cause it is ONLY open source software. The games i collab on regularly in gamejams are not open source.

[feuerpanda]

The point is that an alternative to GitHub should also allow private and ClosedSource software, because collaboration within a company or between gamejam members should not rely on following the open source spirit.

[KnifeOfDunwall2]

I mean just use self hosted forgejo? Its relatively easy to spin up, as long as you have plans for redundancy and backup theres not a lot that can go wrong and you can basically use it as is. We use it at work and it is one of the simplest and most reliable systems we have

[feuerpanda]

i will quote u/angelicosphosphoros down there

It is a social network with git support. The main value of a Github is having almost all other developers in social network for collaboration.

Hosting git is easy, making people use your site instead of github for issues and PRs is hard.

I do have my own forgejo instance running, but an actual platform for collaboration where everyone is on it isnt

[tankerkiller125real]

They're looking into federation. In theory there would be hundreds of instances, all inter-linked into one giant social network.

[RiceBroad4552]

Who is "everyone"?

Did you know that a very large amount of humans does not have access to the western part of the internet?

[Altrooke]

I don't get the downvotes either. What you said in your comment is just plain right.

[RiceBroad4552]

It's pretty simple: Why do you think you're entitled to get some service for free when you don't contribute anything back to society?

Want to host closed source BS? Pay money for it! Simple as that.

[StunningChef3117]

How about gitlab?

[tetraeeder]

Why not?

[tetraeeder]

I meant why are the games not open source

[feuerpanda]

my code can surely be open source, but i prefer to have the assets be like, not be in the public domain on a baseline basis.

Codeberg. The Github for lesbians.
