Yep! This is planned and partially working through builds.sr.ht. I deploy my blog, drewdevault.com, through builds.sr.ht: https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/drewdevault.com This is built with Jekyll and used to be on GitHub pages. The plan is to have a place where you can dump static content, then you can use any site generator you want with builds.sr.ht.

Wow. Excellent. What serves drewdevault.com -- sr.ht itself?

It's just running on my personal infrastructure. In the future there will be a place to host it on sr.ht.

What's the pricing structure going to be, ie. how much should I expect to pay for hosting a dozen of small git repos? I can't access the billing page without an account. Thanks for your work for the FLOSS community, btw. I've got one machine running Sway and I might start using sr.ht.

You can choose any of $2/mo, $5/mo, or $10/mo, depending on your financial situation and investment in sr.ht. All plans have access to all features. Here's a screenshot of the billing page: https://sr.ht/rYFF.png I'll capture the information here in the billing FAQ and make it easier to get to the billing FAQ without signing up later tonight. Thanks for using sway :)

Love the idea that of contributors being eligible for free access!

Congrats on the milestone. This is a huge boon to the open source community. I love the pricing model. Are there any plans or ideas for a migration path from GitHub to sir.ht? I would imagine that if there was a way to transfer issues and discussions it would encourage more users to make the switch. Here's one data point for you: zig programming language. Influencing factors: * If we had syntax highlighting in the fi…

I could imagine it would be reasonable to support "repository-local" highlighting configuration. We use pygments, so patches to pygments would make it to sr.ht's syntax highlighting. >* Transferring…

msys2 has an sshd. I use it on a Windows VM runner with Gitlab CI. It's not easy to set up but it can be done.

Will we be able to selfhost it on our own infra?

Beware the AGPL on some components, though. You may want not to make a business whose business model revolves around adding features to sr.ht.

I'd be happy if my business contributes to a foss software and builds on top of it. I'm all against closed source.

I love this. Everything I've read so far breathes this "made for devs" attitude. I hope that a few years from now in a HN thread that lists successful companies that got "launched" on HN (you know, the Dropboxes and so on), this will be among them---and that the product is still as honest and awesome as it looks right now!

Well worth the $100 for the year and I even plan on self-hosting.
