GitHub now offers unlimited private repositories on its unpaid, regular accounts: https://blog.github.com/changelog/, https://github.com/pricingThis is nice, sure, but: If at all possible, please consider using other services – your local hackerspace might have a git server, or people around here might open theirs to you if you ask – or you could host it yourself, if you have the capability and resources. #git #github

@rixx Ideal is, imho, a multi site strategy to increase availability with multiple „master“ repositories, matching A and P from the CAP theorem.

@rixx But then issues and pull request have to be available in every master repository, which is probably the most difficult part.

@killerdicke That entirely depends on what you use the repositories in question for. If your repositories are part of an active deploy chain, sure! But for stuff like issues and pull request, I'd argue that regular backups are good enough.

@rixx I know many people are using Gogs or Gitea, but do you know a wide comparison sheet for those services?

@rixx Or become a member of @hostsharing and host a git for your friends 😉

@rixx I would like to add git hosting to hackr.org.uk for 57North Hacklab but I don't want to be a GitLab admin as that looks like a bit of a timesink. Any recommendations for software that is lightweight and allows LDAP authentication?

@irl I like gitea a whole lot. It's easy on the server, still provides issues and wikis, and it does seem to provide LDAP auth: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/authentication/Easy to set up, too, in my experience.

In case you are wondering which git server you want to host, here is a very comprehensive comparison chart: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/Personally, I like gitea a lot.

@rixx looks like gitea is the tool that I should have a closer look at.

@rixxWhich misses at least gerrit, which uses the better approach than PR. (rebase instead of merge).

@rixx I must say, when I send pull-requests or open issues, I actually prefer github. Not because the other systems are worse, but because I already have an account.It's the community and actually the centralization. The more accounts, the more credentials, the more hosters which have account data, which may leak, etc.I just do not want to sign up just to report a bug. On github I just report it. On your own installation I often just close the tab again.

@rixx One annoying thing: Why do I need to sign up to report a f*cking bug? An open form would solve this problem, but all bugtrackers need an account today. Probably due to spam, but it's annoying nevertheless.Maybe somebody should build a federated system. I host my fork with my pull-request and the created bug and the federation features sends you the pull-request and a issue-pull-request, so you can pull the issue(-comment) into your bugtracker.

@allo People were working on this a few months back, though I'm not sure on the progress (it was actually activitypub based). Other than that, I can't really help you with your rantiness, sorry.

@rixx This is no rant at you directly.It is an actual observation of what I like to do. I used "login with github" on one site, on another I just left, I probably made accounts somewhere else, but for most small projects I would like NOT to create a full account there.(But I belong to the people, who try not to create too many accounts anywhere)The federation thing was just a spontanious idea, because this could solve the fragmentation problem.

@rixxFor private repos I usually don't need a webui so I just make bare repos on some of my always-on machines and access that over ssh. Anyway I'm glad github finally allows this

@rixx I was made aware of this project recently, which is designing / implementing a "drop in and go" self-hosting, low cost setup:https://lollipopcloud.solutions/They're also here, as @cloud , I believe.

@rixx @aral I agree. Though for that we first need federation! I don‘t want to search for repos only on my local server.

@rixx people may wonder why they should not use #github. They have a great tool, great community and it's free. But they are still a for-profit company running closed-source software! http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/why-free-software-needs-free-tools/

@rixx thanks a lot! have installed gitea on my vserver and it works like a charm - using only a tiny amount of resources! I was considering to use gitlab, which would have been a complete overkill. I even consider to use gitea at work! We are not that many developers. Do you have any experience with a larger amount of users? how stable is it?

@esopriester Great to hear that! I don't have personal experience with multiple active users, but I know several instances running like that. How many people are we talking about?

@rixx in the end, I think not more than 10 users using it on a Daily base. Maybe 30 who just need access to read and occasionally push something.

@rixx also, just because you can make it private don't decide to close off your code! Go "I'll neaten it up before releasing", and you may end up not doing it at all https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/free-github-accounts-now-offer-private-repos/
