    This is a good fit primarily if you want to run a Radicle node that only seeds repos you tell it to. If you want to write code which you publish on Radicle, you need the tool that …

    In a nutshell, I summarise it like this: I see Open Source Software is a public good. As a public good, it doesn't belong in any proprietary platform, nor should orgs of any kind b…

    yes, we currently have just the base building blocks (`rad follow` - allowlist / `rad block` - blocklist) for the fancier things to be built on. When you "seed" a repository, by de…

    it's a little of both: on the one hand we're working on CI integrations (through generic webhooks or CI-engine-specific adapters that basically implement the CI engine's API [1]), …

    1. yes, it's in the user guide [1] 2. Git LFS should work, yes. Care to try and report back ? ;) Open a new topic on the Zulip #Support channel [2] if you run into any issues. [1] …

    yes, they're stored in git itself. See https://radicle.dev/guides/protocol#collaborative-objects

    I didn't think I'd ever be part of any group of 7 people in the world, but today is that day, I guess. And I know one more of those people already! 5 more to go.

    It should! And yet, that's technically not CI. The whole point we started using automation servers as an integration point was to avoid the "it works on my machine" drama. (Have wa…

    So, if I understand correctly, you’re not so much concerned about the p2p architecture, rather than the default seeding policy? (You’d prefer that to be selective rather than open …

    This is true. But what if they change their mind? IMHO, this shows the huge dependency of all of the world’s open source software on a single company. (Microsoft, who owns GitHub).…

    Probably not the "easiest", and it's not really production-ready yet, *but* it is the one open source solution for hosting open source software that will never be affected by the "…

    agreed. Jenkins has suffered from a lot of problems - plugin maintenance across version upgrades being key - but it has also overcome a lot of these problems. It gets criticism jus…

    I have to say "Datadog" isn't exactly as scary as "Microsoft" was, back when it bought GitHub. Ok, they didn't kill the open source community which is what we feared at the time (b…

    For me, one of the benefits of FOSS is that I don't have to trust the people. I can look at the code and decide for myself. Not looking to convince you of that or anything though..…

    Depends on what you mean by finding : - finding what the domain name is ? - resolving the DNS to an IP address ? Radicle solves both problems in theory, but more the latter than th…

    In addition, in order to migrate your GitHub issues to Radicle (which the above doesn't cover), there's this command-line tool [1] that should get you most - if not all - of the wa…

    Any node with "problematic" behaviour can be blocked. But please note that you can also choose a "block everyone, follow just the good ones" (i.e. a selective ) seeding policy [1])…

    Yes, radicle is built on top of git and even uses git as its storage backend for its own data model. [1] has more details on how Radicle depends on git. [1] https://app.radicle.xyz…
