Does anyone host their own git repos in an enterprise environment? How do you do it and what are some good resources for learning how to do this?

Yes using gitolite, it just works.

In the past I worked at a company which used the commercial solution from JFrog, I don't remember ever having problems with git availability as a user.

Anecdotal - I've been using Gitlab for a few years on some projects, and haven't experienced any downtime issues with them of this magnitude.

Same. Overall, I like GitLab a lot more than GitHub. I wonder how much of GitHub's popularity is buoyed by its status as the defacto home for OSS

I'm considering host a gitea instance backup all of my repos.

I have an important fix that need to be deployed right now but there is no way to deploy it in a normal way with our CI which one was setup with Github Action. Fortunately I have a instruction to bypass CI and build the source by myself.

But again, Github defeat me because our release workflows are depend on GitOps which are effected by Github issue. Ahhhhhhhhhh I have to build the docker image, push it to ECR then update a YAML template to make EKS apply the new changes

It's 9PM in my timezone and I'm waiting for my patches are up. A frustrating incident

Are you interested in spinning up an entire CI environment? or something where anyone can push a branch to a file based mirror?

There are aspects of permissioning that the cloud git repo providers have that become more challenging to implement as a home grown solution and unless you have the resources to maintain it, it also becomes interesting.

On one hand, you can do `git clone --mirror` and you'll have a copy of the repo and put that on a file share... though there's no permissions or automatic syncs for it (or CI). If you want those, then you get into some development (and maintenance) of the git hooks.

Going to things like a local hosted gitlab instance means that you need to have a local docker hosted environment running, and someone to maintain that, and the storage for it, and all of the other fun that comes with administering a complex 3rd party application on prem. When things are going good, it's an hour or two a week... when something breaks its several hours with calls to support (you're using a paid / licensed version to get support... right?) from someone who has a sysadmin skill set rather than a developer skillset. And don't forget about DR.

What is going on over there? Third day in a row is... kind of impressive.

My money is on some significant backend architecture migration gone wrong without a viable way to roll back the time machine :)

Feels like an organization as big as Microsoft must surely have some sort contingency plan in place before doing such a large migration. Right?
