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.)
@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 @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.
@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) :)
