Just wanted to point out Gogs: https://gogs.io/

It's a very light weight, self-hosted git server, the UI is very GitHub like.

It's not a replacement for all the features of a self-hosted GitLab.

But I've seen people battling a self-hosted GitLab instance when all they needed was something like Gogs.



Or Gitea, which was forked from Gogs iirc:

https://gitea.io/en-us/


Alternatively Phabricator for all in one package (Trello, Slack, JIRA, Github alternatives but all open source)


Isn't phab slowly going the way of the dodo?


Where does this sentiment come from? I've seen it posted before.

I've been using Phabricator for 2 years and development seems to have picked up, if anything. They seem to be polishing what they have and making everything more robust, an odd thing to do if its going the way of the dodo.


For example kde seems to be moving away from phabricator to gitlab https://about.gitlab.com/press/releases/2019-09-17-gitlab-ad...

Combined with debian moving to gitlab, gnome moving to gitlab, ... , that was the sentiment I got.


Ah, I think that may be due to the patch submission structure of Phabricator more than anything else. I can understand why a major open source org wants to adopt something else that people have as muscle memory (ie. pull request style collaborating). I don't think that reflects the development of Phabricator at all, like I said, its become more robust and features are becoming more mature every week (and there's still some big installations out there, like Wikimedia).


Yeah Phabricator is quite good for project management, but it's a pain in the ass to manage and the CI is very meh.


Looks interesting. As if they had stolen all the CSS files from GitHub.

Gitea is also nice self-host option, but also not a complete ALM solution. We often use trac in conjunction with different source control providers, which might be ancient by now, but it always delivers and everyone seems to like it.


Gitea is a fork of gogs.


ALM?


application lifecycle management


Can you really steal CSS though?


Definitely, yes. CSS (just as HTML, JS, and anything else being served) is covered by copyright. The law(s) may vary depending on jurisdiction, but generally speaking you can be sued for copyright violation. Getting caught is a different matter, but if it is obvious that you copied CSS you can be in serious legal trouble.


i mean the design of it is almost a carbon copy of the github design down to the layout, design, and colors.

if i replaced just the logo in the upper left hand corner to the github logo instead of the googs logo would you be able to tell the difference between this screenshot and github proper?

I think I could easily do that.

And I'm a backender-at-heart who doesn't even have full colour vision.

So, not a copy I think.


Also Pagure: https://pagure.io/pagure

Written in Python and used as dist-Git frontend in Fedora + used to host many Fedora related projects.


I believe gogs is mostly developed in China. I don’t know if it is developed by individuals or if it backed by the Chinese state. Maybe someone here knows?

It does not seem to be mostly developed in China, but there are Chinese contributors.
