Re: Moving away from US cloud services
#2I moved from GitHub to self-hosted gitolite. I use a (standard) Makefile in each repo, which my deploy job runs (make test, make build, etc). I use githooks to do various automation.
It's really not that much different to GH Actions, and not more work. But it's much faster, and easier to work with.
If you're working in a team, then PRs are hard to replace.

What drew you to gitolite over alternatives (e.g., Forgejo)?

My company is looking into a move from GitLab to https://forgejo.org (Codeberg, essentially). Seems way easier to self host. Seems fine so much for all my team's needs.

Why not gitea?

#6My problem is that I do not want to replace one centralilzed service with another. I do not see any difference between the US and the EU (or Australia) in handling privacy. Most politicians are super keen on destroying privacy for people, for the "good cause". There are so many examples of this I lost count. We need strong encryption and true peer-to-peer networks where the connection is going through random routes (impossible to predict) and there is no government controll of any of the nodes it touches.

#7I find the Proton tools to be a joy to use and I use them for my business. For clients, I can't do that to them. Microsoft completely dominates and people just expect to be able to video call, chat, work on docs, etc. MS365 remains incredible value for money and pretty optimal for normies.

This looks interesting, I have self hosted gitlab but it is so slow and I don't need most of the features it offers. Thanks for sharing!

#9Since you are switching anyways you could try to adopt local first and that way you make sure you don't have yet another cloud dependency ie political dependency.

#10>At the very least, think twice before signing up for new US services. Consider European services instead.
To be clear, this Europe?
