Not solving the issue, but if you're collaborating with researchers based in France, you can use such an Overleaf community edition hosted by #CNRS, dubbed #PLMLatex.

I'd be interested to know whether other unis/research orgs around the world have dont the same. Even #CERN is referring to the proprietary #Overleaf#SAAS.

Un problème avec #WeTransfer ou les #documentsPartagés style #googleDocs, #overleaf, etc, c'est qu'on se retrouve destinataire sans l'avoir choisi, et, selon les circonstances, il peut être un peu tard / humainement compliqué de demander au correspondant de changer d'outil.

J'envisage de mettre dans ma signature mail une ligne "Je refuse les documents partagés via des outils propriétaires, voici les alternatives" avec un lien. Idéalement, un lien sur une page toujours à jour ?

Update on my interest in moving away from #GitHub to another code forge. I was excited about #Radicle because it is meant to be #P2P, but I ended up deciding against it. Besides the use of cryptocurrency for fundraising/management being a red flag, I found that I needed a seed node with a dedicated address in order to host a private repo, which doesn't feel truly P2P.

I also want to be able to convince other people to use the code forge with me to write code and papers. The added complexity of Radicle (from a user's perspective) seems like even more of an uphill battle than getting mathematicians to choose git instead of #Overleaf. (By the way, we could use a #FOSS Overleaf alternative.)

Due to these considerations, it looks like self-hosting @forgejo is the way to go! (Even if it's not P2P.)

Anyway, I have gotten set up with a European VPS thanks to https://european-alternatives.eu/ and have a Debian machine running. I now need to get Forgejo set up, and I have three install methods I might use:

1) Follow https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation-binary/
2) Follow https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-deb which says that (1) is bad
3) Use podman

From (2) I could start Forgejo and from (3) I could start a container, but the instructions on https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation-docker/ don't work for me. In all cases I need to use the web UI to finish installation. Am I supposed to have no CLI alternative for this? I feel like installing a desktop environment on my VPS is not the answer, but I'm not sure what else to do here.
