Does anyone know of anyone offering managed Forgejo hosting?
(I don’t mean Codeberg. All my stuff is already on Codeberg. I mean where I could have my own VPS running Forgejo just for our own projects but where I wouldn’t have to deal with managing yet another server.)

@juh @hostsharing Thank you, I’ll take a look :)

@aral @hostsharing can do that.

@aral I was thinking of running an instance for the computational common allmende.io, alongside the existing lab.allmende.io GitLab.
We don't always need all of its features and sometimes I just need a git and that's it
The application is simple and we still have enough compute left at @ecobytes
Also I wanted to offer you our self-managed PowerDNS at some point, which is now closer to being available for API use, if you wanted to test that.
Should we roll a git.allmende.io Forgejo instance?

@yala @ecobytes Hey Jon, thanks so much for the offer, appreciate it. I’m looking for something to run on the small-web.org domain though. I’ll definitely check out your work though :)
Aral Balkan
@yala @ecobytes I mean, that would be lovely but I’d hate to inconvenience you. I’m off to vote now but may I ping you over the weekend or towards the end of next week after I’m back from my talk in the Netherlands?
(And thanks again, I appreciate even the thought alone.)

@aral As an @ecobytes member, we could always fire up a few containers for the small-web.org.

@Codeberg Sounds great, thanks. Outside my price range, sadly, for a single org/non-public instance where I’ll be hosting only a handful of repositories but great to see initiatives like this start to exist :)
(And it’s all thanks to you folks for making it possible.)

@aral Pretty recent, but #codey is starting something like this: https://codey.ch/

@nclm Thanks :)

@aral Not a real simple answer but:
https://cloud68.co/managed-hosting.html
only has GitLab but has a “Request” button and page to suggest adding new “nice free open source platform (released under a permissive license) that you would like to see in this list”
https://hostman.com/marketplace/ has Gitea, so maybe can be negotiated with them to get Forgejo instead?

@nclm @aral just happened to see this. We don't feel comfortable with lots of 'open source washing'
that is being done the last years by various companies and the situation with licensing is becoming quite tricky. Maybe we should blog about it and share our frustration. We have also seen many cases of FLOSS projects that have not been friendly towards us when we ask them if they are ok with us providing managed hosting of their software.
Aral Balkan
@Cloud68 @nclm Fair enough. Although I assume @forgejo or @Codeberg have not been hostile towards you as I’d be very surprised to hear if that was the case. Quite on the contrary, I would assume they would very much welcome such a thing.
Cloud68.co 👩💻👨💻
@aral @nclm @forgejo @Codeberg to be fair we haven't contacted them, but we have the same feeling based on perception only. What happened in our case is that people started requesting Managed Hosting for Gitlab and almost no requests for other git software. Being a small by design team sometimes limits on being proactive on offering other software for the reasons mentioned previously, although this is not to justify the reason of not having those on the list of services.
Aral Balkan
@Cloud68 @nclm @forgejo @Codeberg Yeah, Gitlab is corporate/enterprise while Forgejo is maintained by a tiny not-for-profit (Codeberg) + community. So if you were to contact them I’m sure you’d find a very different atmosphere. But I understand the lack of resources issues all too well (being part of a different tiny and currently unfunded not-for-profit) :)

@aral @nclm @forgejo @Codeberg we'll make sure to reference this discussion in the next team meeting. The setup of @Codeberg is really up to our liking in comparison with giant companies. Here is why: https://cloud68.co/blog/digital-infrastructure-like-its-1968.
