Post #891856

I’ve self-hosted Gogs which is a predecessor of Forgejo and it used very few resources. A tiny VPS is plenty. Fossil (fossil-scm.org) is even smaller, but it’s a DVCS that’s not directly compatible with Git. For personal projects you don’t really need a “forge”. I just use self-hosted git directly, with no web UI. Just “git pull” and so on. That’s what the Linux kernel devs do, so it’s obviously workable even for huge projects. There’s actually a web interface (gitweb) that comes with git, but it’s mostly to let other users browse your repo.
