@andrewnez@mastodon.social True, but there are concomitant things that have been built and are profitable. I’m thinking about package registries/proxies. Also, SBOM generation is touching packages. Of course, that doesn’t cover all your concerns, but I think there is a way to merge all of that into a forge useful for maintainers.

@matdevdug i'm building this forge, not "some of that", exactly what you describe! Point 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 are done, others in progress. For 1 I envisaged local runner but your idea is cool. 7 is what I try to explain but without success. For 5 I made my forge with plugins. I added some constraints: no inscription, no database, customize web view. Visit https://gitroot.dev and follow @forge to know when you will be able to install it on your rasps.

@pojntfx@mastodon.social or a forge without inscription like https://gitroot.dev cc @forge@gts.gitroot.dev it's young but there are lot of ideas to not become like github, no database = all in git, no concentration of power = plugins...

@n0toose @dpk Thank you for this post. It’s good to be reminded of the obvious. I’m the developer of GitRoot @forge (an alternative forge that requires no registration and uses no database). If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch https://gitroot.dev/contact.html

@andrewnez Funny, I have a forge that does the exact opposite. Rather than putting everything in a database, I thought, "What if we had a forge without a database?" Everything is stored in Git (config, users, permissions, tickets, etc.). Of course, I don't use git-cli, but rather a library that allows me to mount the repository in memory. Implementing a storer for PG should be doable with it https://github.com/go-git/go-git in go like forgejo. To see what my forge looks like https://gitroot.dev

@ppezziardi j'aime tout ce bruit autour de la France, de l'Open source, d'une vision de la souveraineté. Je me questionne sur le longévité d'une telle initiative. Enfin je regrette github 🤦‍♂️Je cherche des moyens pour développer @forge et je suis sur que vous en avez. N'hésitez pas a me contacter https://gitroot.dev/contact.html si une forge souveraine, open source, vous intéresse.

@Changaco@diaspodon.fr Curious to learn more about the end of SQL. What will be used?

@emue@mastodon.design Carrément ! Trop hâte d'avoir ton avis là-dessus. À très vite !

@emue@mastodon.design Et bien ça fait un moment que je me demande comment je pourrais rencontrer des UX qui s’intéressent au libre pour parler de mon projet. Le voici brut de décoffrage https://gitroot.dev il a besoin de tout. Mon égo n'en prendra pas un coup car je sais que rien ne va 😅 Je prend absolument tous les conseils par tous ces moyens de communication https://gitroot.dev/contact.html ou ici.
