  • It can be frustrating looking for the current best alternative. Ive found alternativeto.net to be really good at finding all the alternatives and telling you which are worth a look.

    With my own projects, maybe 1 in 10 make it to that kind of “ready to publish” beta quality, and most get abandoned thereafter.

    Iys not really because im short on money as such. Its because im just playing around with whatever project, and quickly lose interest once it reaches that “almost kinda done” state.

    I dont really see this as a shortcoming of the FOSS ecosystem.







  • I would like to use bare repos because I don’t share with anyone else and don’t really need the web-ui for issues or wikis or anything.

    However, I need git-lfs and if I understand correctly, that doesn’t wont work with a bare repo over ssh.

    I was using gitea a while back and they had a way to dump repos and db, but there didn’t seem to be a way to restore. That being the case I switched to gogs which has been great. It was only recently I learned that gogs wasn’t very active and there was some kind of security breach. Mine is only accessible on my LAN so not particularly worried about security.

    Anyhow, looking at forgejo now it seems like there still isn’t a great way to restore from backup? I guess that might not matter to me if I’m only interested in the repos and no comments or other stuff that might be in the database.
