Post #2632849

My experiment with #selfhosting a code forge using #Forgejo has come to an end. Even though it wasn't too expensive to rent a VPS, I still disliked having another form of rent to pay. I'd much rather be hosting something from my own hardware at home. In addition to this, my current use-case doesn't seem to justify the effort it takes to properly maintain the service. I had a couple projects I was sharing on my website via this code forge, both of which used to be on #GitHub. I've realized they work better as static files/archives you can download directly. They're tiny and there's no need for a live web application to share them. I did learn a lot by setting up the Forgejo instance, including how to use wildcard #SSL certificates and #nginx. I took copious notes, so I'll probably have a much smoother time of it if I try hosting another web application at some point. For projects that are better served by a Forgejo instance, I've made a #Codeberg account: https://codeberg.org/caten #VPS #software #programming #WebDev #WebDevelopment #WebApplication
