Github fediverse alternative

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 80 points – 1 years ago

I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like).

I want people to be able to open issues, PRs, comment, fork or star without having to create an account on my server. Is there anything like that?

I saw radicle.xyz but I am not sure if that is what I want. Basically a lightweight git+ActivityPub + web frontend is what I am looking for. I think. No CI/CD or other fancy features required.

AFAIK it’s a planned feature for Forgejo

Yeah, the protocol is called ForgeFed and from what I recall it will be added to Forgejo, then ported upstream to Gitea. Supposedly GitLab has commented on adopting it in the future as well.

Let's just extend SMTP instead

Mail is one of the most insecure protocols out there
