HRConvert2 VS Gogs

There's an open issue on the main HRConvert2 Github, but there doesn't seem to be much traffic in the repo at all. Has anyone run into this issue or know how to fix it?

I noted some more information in the other post but additonally - regarding your questions: I tried to install HRConvert2 (repo: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2) using the provided docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/dwaaan/HRConvert2-Docker and following the instructions which where mentioned there. The logs don't say anything helpful (or anything at all, actually)...

Maybe https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2

Sounds good, but it doesn't really include the capability of converting anything by default. You have to install lots of dependencies manually and go through a very lengthy installation guide: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2/blob/master/Documentation/INSTALLATION_INSTRUCTIONS.txt

As far as I understand, the usage of such tools is caused by the need to accomplish some goal that they don't know how to otherwise do. Therefore, wouldn't it be a good idea to self-host such a tool, even if it's not a part of any pre-existing platform that's in use for other business processes?

For example, for various data format related concerns, I've seen CyberChef be pretty good: https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef

As for some binary file format conversations, HRConvert2 seems viable: https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2

If self-hosting things is too much of a bother/risk, then I guess all that's left is local tools, such as Handbrake on Windows for video: https://handbrake.fr/ and maybe something like XnView for images: https://www.xnview.com/en/ and so on...

But then there's the risks of self-hosted or local software containing something malicious and needing to be audited etc. I recall that in my previous org, I helped develop a Wiki page listing many of the tools available within the company internally, so that anyone who needs to store files could immediately look at self-hosted Nextcloud (for example), as opposed to going for Dropbox or whatever. Of course, instructions alone probably aren't enough, restrictions are also necessary, but discoverability is always good!

The only solution I know is https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2 In my experience, it works okay, not well but okay. But only tried it for a few minutes.

> Gitea but the other one

Wouldn't that also be Gogs? https://gogs.io/

I remember when that one was what a lot of people were looking into, before the Gitea fork happened. It's odd to see how this has happened yet again, but I guess is a good thing that it's even possible in the first place, if there are indeed differing values and goals?

Gogs - A self-hosted Git service. [Git]

Golang has a ton of single binary websites out there. The two that come to mind off hand are Gogs/Gitea only because I contributed to them

https://github.com/gogs/gogs

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

I did use https://gogs.io/ in the past. Was nice.

This reminds me of Gogs [0], where the original author refused a lot of good ideas and improvements, eventually leading to a fork [1] that's now a lot more popular and active than the original.

To me i like the best GOGS https://gogs.io/. Same features like GitHub but all local and lightweight

Gogs (https://gogs.io/)
