Gitea is a better gogs fork

It's not necessarily better, they're different. I run Gitea since the goal there seems to be more like Github while Gogs seems to aim more for a Gitlab-Light experience.

I am running Gitea too. Quite happy with it.

At the time when I compared to Gogs, I read about a period where the Gogs maintainer was off, and PR's were piling up. Not sure, but that may have been the reason to create Gitea fork at the time. The project has multiple maintainers, and when I compared activity (about 8 months ago), it was more active in terms of PR's and commits.

* Mattermost - For chat system. It has proved to be quite stable for over a year and none of the people who used complained of bugs or annoyance. Recent version of mobile app seems to work just fine too. (They rewrote and separated it into a classic version.)

* Dokuwiki - Nothing new but it just works for my personal company memo. Its simplicity is good.

* monit - I love the easy to understand syntax of the config to monitor servers. Can also monitor the freshness of SSL certs when these days everyone uses Let's Encrypt and they expire pretty quickly. And bought m/monit a few times and I get to manage multiple servers' monit from its dashboard. I used to run Prometheus + Grafana for making pretty graphs of server activities but while the set up wasn't so hard, I felt the whole thing was a bit overkill for just monitoring server health and I'm happy with m/monit's simpler graphs. (Also does down sampling and purges old data.)

* InspIRCd - Not using anymore but had it for internal IRC chat before switching to Mattermost.

Tried BitWarden recently for password vault and it seems like a solid one but the clients are not as versatile as Enpass, so, still looking around.

Awesome list: https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/

I came here looking for reviews and recommendations instead of a list of everything under the sun where I have to figure out what's good and what isn't

I think it's fair to see these lists at least once not to miss your personal gems. I'm in the middle of going through some 'awesome cli command list' that literally lists everything under the sun which looks like over 1000 but still enjoying seeing nice ones once in a while.

I'm recently using RSpamd for spam filtering and I think I like it.

Looking forward for your "issue tracker". I've been looking around for a simple one "for the rest of us", but not much really exists. The close one I almost liked except the feature was too limited was Brimir. Was thinking might as well create one myself if I get the time.

I try to use self-hosted over cloud-based services. The loss of control over data, privacy issues and just being burnt too many times means services are ephemeral to me at best. Some of the things I use heavily: * Nextcloud * Bookstack * Privatebin * Mailu (although I'm slowly moving to a manual setup) * Wallabag * Selfoss I'm also waiting for pixelfed, peertube and pleroma to mature a little more. I'm moving some of…

Out of curiosity, how are you burnt so many times from online services?

To my impression the activity is largely equal at the moment, though Gogs still has only one maintainer, so if the bus hits...

Most of the core stuff is the same, so for simple git repo hosting I don't think it matters.

Gitolite, Redmine. My company and my personal static web sites. Syncthing, if that's self hosting (there is no host.) Etherpad, to experiment on Google free collaboration.

I had a Mattermost server a couple of times in the last few years but I really don't need it.

What sort of hardware are you running? I'm looking to set something up myself, and I like the look of FreeNAS as it sounds like it fits my use case but the HW recommendations are a little out of my budget at the moment.
