  • Regarding Codeberg:

    • Codeberg only services free and open source projects
    • There are other limitatiosns:
      • They don’t provide a free, well designed and isolated CI like GitHub does
      • The space of Packages/Registry is limited
    • As it’s quite niche there are a lot less people on that platform in general
    • Although GitHub is under fire for their uptime: The uptime of Codeberg is quite comparable to GitHub, when having a look at the functionality that both platforms have in common.

    Regarding self-hosting:

    • Too expensive / time intensive for most devs that just want to code

















  • Ok so if I’m reading this correctly: They migrated from an OS and MySQL version receiving no updates since at least 2 years to MySQL 8.0 which will stop getting updates in 4 days. Also every service is running without any containerization and there is a single database for everything… and it all runs on a single host and I didn’t read one word about a backup strategy or disk encryption. Also not a single word about infrastructure as code like ansible so that you can reliably recreate the system… and The whole stuff is hosted in Germany for a Turkish software company - sounds like very good latency.

    My personal conclusion: This system WILL fail and the guy who designed it is stuck somewhere 10-20 years in the past.
