What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
What is a service you host you never knew you needed?
I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.
For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.
What is that service for you?
You're viewing a single thread.
Forgejo. There are so many things that can use a git repo but I don't want to have them out in the wild, so I host them myself, safe and sound behind my firewall.
I also mirror other github forks so they don't go away whenever those services decide to rugpull them.
I host foregejo, but I have a small problem. I can’t get my ssh keys to work for cloning repos. I can’t only use https.
Is port 22 accessible and pointed at it? You could also run it on an alternate port and specify that port in your ssh config.
I’m using a different port and have it in my config. Sadly that didn’t work too 😭
In both client config and forgejo config? And docker config?
It's working for me, but I had to add a config to my ~/.ssh/config file
I’ll check my docker config when I get home to make sure.
I use API tokens. Seems to work fine for mirroring.
I started with gitea but found it difficult to backup. I've been using gogs for a while now and find it minimal and easy to administrate.
I run it in a docker on zfs so snapshots backed up to PBS seem pretty bulletproof.
Do you manually mirror and keep the forks up to date? Or is there an automation for it?
There's automation and you can do it manually if needed. For example I have a couple of emulators that pull every 24 hours from GitHub just in case nint tendo gets a little lawsuit heavy. I also have one offs from GitHub that pull down when I want.
You can also mirror a public repo from GitHub into a private repo so it does not gets indexed/ai trained.
