Personally I have a private repository on forge.a-lec.org that
I use
for Q/A for a project I participate in, and so I push and pull
regularly from it, and it has significant downtime (It's
subjective but
I've seen it down way more than Savannah). So I ping neox each
time that
happens and he does what needs to be done to bring the service
back
online (he's involved in maintaining these services).
It'd be interesting to have some feedback from neox regarding
the effort
and challenges of self-hosting a Forgejo instance, which we
consider
doing as a project in the future.
Just to be clear: I'm not volunteering to operate a Forgejo
instance,
and I would object to running it on servers at the MDC. If we
ever
self-host, I would strongly suggest to first recruit a reliable,
large,
and ideally not(-yet?)-burned-out team of sysadmins who are
willing to
do this.
Frankly, I don't think there are many benefits to doing everything
ourselves when we already *have* aligned free software hackers
dedicating themselves to working on these things on our behalf.
I would be happy to explain more about the benefits of division of
labour, but now I have to get back to smelting some ore so I can
eventually build a new pot for making lunch.
