The thing I am still missing is a zero-weight alternative to Github/lab. Most of the task performed on either of them could be done in a completely distributed fashion (issue tracking, CI, etc.), just like git itself. But there has been frustratingly little development in that area, though a few projects exists (e.g. "git-bug", "act").

#22I am wondering how the performance compares to Gitea. I guess it would need way more resources
Re: OneDev – A Lightweight Gitlab Alternative
#23> “Lightweight”
> written in Java
seems like a contradiction, no?
edit: thanks for explaining me why this is not the case

You mention CI being done in a distributed fashion. Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I'm asking as I'm someone who has developed a CI platform [1], and one of its features is the offline runner [2]. The offline runner allows you to run your CI builds on your own computer, and does not communicate with the CI server whatsoever. Is this what you had in mind?

#25Apart from the fact that the onedev website is slow as a snail, I'm also a bit iffy about the help documentation's styling. It feels very cramped and tiny. If you compare your help docs [0] with eg. Microsoft's docs [1], the latter is much easier to read and less tiring to look at!

I also notice some outdated stuff like a 14px html and body font so your font size doesn't scale, as well as a fixed, 900px width div for your content. This all doesn't scale. Why haven't you set this up to be a bit more flexible?

wow, the onedev docs really do load extremely slowly - i gave up on waiting :/
Re: OneDev – A Lightweight Gitlab Alternative
#28#off-topic These are signs of high growth markets, and how counter-intuitive the exponential growth of the internet has been. At the beginning we had Github. And that was enough. Then we had Gitlab, and most of us wondered: "who are these crazy dudes that want to compete with Github?". They were absolutely right, and the market grew so big that they found their own space. Now, more alternatives keep appearing (like O…
In the beginning we had the VMS versioning file system [1] (well I had you might be older ;-) And that was enough. Then we got RCS. Then CVS. Then we got SourceForge. And that was enough. Then we got Git!
Re: OneDev – A Lightweight Gitlab Alternative
#29The most important thing i need from github, gitlab,... is the convenient tool for code review.
To review is different from to see the changes only.
We need context, fast scrolling, auto-smart jumping between related code parts...

I know about Google’s gerrit. I now found https://github.com/google/git-appraise, there seems to be a plethora on the issue and pr tracking side.
Then the other day there was a generic/abstraction layer to write CI that abstracte over gitlab, circle ci, and GitHub actions (maybe more). I suppose all that’s left is to get some api tokens somewhere and go?
