Retejo

I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.

I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.

...

What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽

Well, of course, it supports HTML.

But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

Probably the biggest thing that motivated me to create Retejo now (as I've had the idea for this for a number of year) is —

So, I thought — what if I just ran my own web-server to server files from Codeberg.

And thus, Retejo was born.

But, while I am at it, I can also add automatic ActivityPub / ActivityStreams support to it.

№1:

The software powering Codeberg Pages seems like it isn't being maintained anymore beyond minor fixes

№2:

Although Codeberg is pretty reliable, Codeberg Pages doesn't that reliable.

...

So, I thought —

Although I've had a Codeberg account for a number of years — I recently started the process of migrating over to Codeberg (from GitHub).

Codeberg has something similar to GitHub Pages — called Codeberg Pages

One thing I am really looking forward to is the talk "Forgejo-aneksajo: a git-annex/DataLad forge" by Matthias Riße. In 2024 he briefly showed how git-annex could be integrated with #gitea during the unconference session. In the months after the conference, he ported this to #forgejo and now we have #forgejo-aneksajo deployments all over the place. A new centerpiece of the ecosystem.

Some thoughts on personal git hosting | @Edent

｢ I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested as GitHub.

So I want to host my own Git instance for my personal projects ｣

Is there a technical advantage or reason for moving from #gitea to #forgejo ? #homelab #selfhosted #selfhosting

OK! I think I have a solution.

As suggested by @eivindmork - I've set up a test Gitea instance using @Pikapods. Only €2/month and I can bring my own subdomain.

I've added social sign-in via GitHub and GitLab to enable people to send me PRs and Issues. Don't think it is quite as easy as GitHub, but it is a start.

Please kick the tyres, log in, play about with it and let me know what else it needs. I've never configured #gitea before.

Hi, I set up an Gitea server on my servers in the EU powered by my own solar power and I want to share it with you. You can upload your repository there or mirror it or help me to mirror major repos there. Feel free to use it as well for your projects.
