Where's best to host the #OpenSource tools I've developed for Mastodon?
#GitHub is centralised & some people have ethical issues with it.
#GitLab doesn't have as many users, and is still centralised.
I don't have the skill / time / patience to run my own #Gitea or anything similar.
Thoughts?
@Edent That's a pity, I encourage using Gitea as it's so simple to start and maintain. Especially on Kubernetes. There are also plenty of service hosting that proposes pre-installed Gitea.
🙂
@timbray @Edent the question was to install (or not) gitea. I only said that he can buy a simple hosted K8S (no management at all to do), and use the three commands here:
https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/gitea/gitea
I never said to make something more.
And there is some providers where you don't need to type a command. You click on the gitea app in a catalog and it install the application on the kubernetes plateform.
@timbray @Edent it's a good question. The nice to have is that you can easily upgrade applications, try a "testing" version on the same servers to check if a configuration or the newest version is okay... That's possible with docker compose but it's, IMHO, less automated. K8S is a solution among others.
I'm sorry but I'm a bit tired of the K8S bashing that has been going on. I experienced the same criticism 15/20 years ago about apache, Linux, php, python, ...
@timbray @Edent PS : I love the given helm chart from Mastodon GitHub, it's easy to decide if you want elastic search or not, number of nodes... But they forget to update some dependencies and it's today not usable 😡
I opened an issue, I think they will fix it soon.
