There are a lot. I’ll list just the most popular:
And of course there is self hosting.
Read too fast and saw “self-loathing” which took me a second because self-hosting sort of feels that way sometimes.
But in all seriousness, I highly suggest taking a weekend to learn how to run docker. For the most part, if you’re using a compose file, getting something working takes about as much time as installing a program on an old PC.
Most of these should have a compose and documentation on what variables you need to set (like passwords and file paths and such).
Personally, I run Forgejo and set up mirrors that will sync every 8-12 hours off the repos that I feel shows promise, but also may be targeted.
When you see DCMAs hit, they go ahead and submit them for forks as well since GitHub tracks them. But they can’t target me since I’m mirroring off-site.
…Unfortunately I find many of these post DCMA, but usually the community fights back and you’ll find clones/forks floating around… but I do what I can to try and help decentralize. Hopefully one day the network effect may reverse and pull people elsewhere than GitHub…
Just a random tangent but I love Docker compose. Set it up once, and it works on every machine forever. Change distro? No problem. Move to VPS? No problem. It’s just so neat.
The only downside is you have to learn the arcane ways. It’s not intuitive or easy to understand at all, especially once you get into advanced networking, volumes, etc
Running docked sounds like the easy bit. The hard bit would be getting a static IP for external access, or paying for a host that allows you an entire VM.
I pay about $9 a month for a shitty shared PHP host, in spite of much discussion I haven’t found much out there that’s better than that.
