you are literally just posting buzzwords. You can be lean with mysql, you can write bloaty programs with rust. I would argue most rust webservices are shittier than java ones

is there a readable version?

My point: if you’re getting started selfhosting you have to embrace and accept the self-inflicted punishment. Good luck everybody, I don’t know if I can keep choosing to get disappointed.

I would say that your self inflicted punishment is using windows. Switch to debian and thank me in six months

are you jelly? this is totally my experience and the experience of people in my circle

I am using vikunja for the same thing

Guys, downvotes are not the DISLIKE button, let’s not become reddit please

Not only it can be done but I think it is the way to go. You then have to manage permissions and backup only on one database, and the performance improves given that you let postgresql manage it’s own IO. It goes without saying that you should use postgresql instead of mysql

I used many of them and settled for bare repos on an host with ssh access

• gitea / gogs: too many database corruptions I am getting ptsd just talking about it
• gitlab: too big, too resource hungry for something so simple. Didn’t use 90% of the stuff that offered
• gitbucket and onedev: those are very good and are sort of setup and forget because they just work. They have different features set so check them out.

In the end given that I just have a bunch of users and don’t need many fancy features (we share patches over email and matrix) on our community server we are just using ssh and klaus as a web frontend

I agree with all the comments so far but would like to add my own thoughts. Users are not important. Personally I moved to lemmy because the quality of discussion on reddit dropped so much.

This has been my trajectory:

• avid reddit user and content creator there (not sure if the right term) 2016 - 2018
• lurker from 2018 to 2023
• completely dropped reddit and moved to lemmy

My hope is that we can have the same kind of content and discussion in pre 2020 reddit

I use libvirt and never found a reason to switch to something else. Easy to script, easy to manage with the gui

This is what I told most of my friend when they asked me to move to signal. Is is going to be a very shitty company managed by a shitty egocentric person and you are going to regret. But you will make people move and they won’t do it again and won’t understand the reasons

I am going to downvote you because you put zero effort in understanding that they are offering only the software as free software, not hardware or streaming in any form
