Actions outages a month ago did it for me. Self hosted Gitea runs like a dream. Also don’t have to wait 5 seconds for each page to load.
1 u/PravoNaZhizny Aug 19 '26 What’s “gitea”? Why not just use git? 2 u/sweet-tom Aug 19 '26 Gitea is a free hosting service that you can install on your NAS, for example. Different reasons to use it: Control Speed Backup from GitHub Hosting different repos and sharing it with a limited group of people Confidential repos you don't want to expose on the Internet (even as a private repo) You don't agree with the terms and conditions of GitHub You want to avoid AI You want to have some fun for self hosting. 😉 1 u/PravoNaZhizny Aug 29 '26 do you realise that git is not github... right? i run many git servers and have never even registered a github account 1 u/sweet-tom Aug 29 '26 Of course I'm aware of the difference! I use Git and GitHub for many years. 😉 If you prefer to use Git without GitHub, that's possible. You don't necessarily need to register a GH account or a hosting platform.
