    Well, I think I have said that since 2020 [0] and it is self-evident that you are better off self-hosting your own Git repo. If you can host a website you can do it. If GNOME, ReactOS, Wireguard, Linux Kernel Project, Mozilla, etc can do it, so can you. If not, a backup / failsafe can be used just in case.

    Going all in on GitHub just doesn't make any sense anymore.

  • feedback

    Discontinued Public feedback discussions for: GitHub for Mobile, GitHub Discussions, GitHub Codespaces, GitHub Sponsors, GitHub Issues and more! [Moved to: https://github.com/github-community/community]

  • > I figure at this point we'd get something of why this is happening.

    I've created a new discussion in their feedback repo asking for this, three major outages in a week could really do with a post-mortem: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/13344

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Gitea

    Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  • It seems there's a tracking issue here, but it seems stalled: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1612

  • woodpecker

    Woodpecker is a simple yet powerful CI/CD engine with great extensibility.

  • Did you consider woodpecker instead of drone? It's basically an evolved fork of the OSS version.

  • Gitbucket

    A Git platform powered by Scala with easy installation, high extensibility & GitHub API compatibility

  • Another self-hosted project in the space that i've seen was GitBucket, although it runs on the JVM (not necessarily a bad thing, just different from Go): https://gitbucket.github.io/

  • reactos

    A free Windows-compatible Operating System

  • I don't recall ReactOS, or the creators of wireguard having 'multi million dollar budgets'. How is it that even projects like RedoxOS [0] are able to self-host on a GitLab instance using a subdomain, without giant budgets in the millions?

    You don't need a 'multi-million dollar budget' to self-host a git repo and may of these open-source projects have been doing so even before GitHub existed for years. Even if they did, there isn't an excuse left. At the very least I would expect something like what ReactOS is doing by having a self-hosted backup just in case GitHub goes down or vice-versa. [1]

    Looks like that is proving to be useful.

  • hub20

    Self-hosted payment gateway for Ethereum and any ERC20 token, integrates with Raiden for almost-zero fees.

  • I think that parent means also things like CI, release repository, PR review, etc.

    These are not easily portable, but honestly is because of this lock-in that I prefer to use separate/independent tools. For my open source project [0], I am putting things on github and it is the link that give to most people, but in reality is just a mirror to the gitlab repository[1], which I use for CI and static page hosting, and the "project management" is done on Taiga [2]

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
