The biggest gap so far is the lack of documentation on how to deal with Jekyll-based Github pages.

Please, Codeberg people, just tell me what's the deal. I don't need drop-in compatibility, but please manage my expectations! Should I use another SSG? Should I move to static HTML pages?

Just tell me, please!

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

You can just run the build locally and push the output to a branch. Same as people using other SSGs with GitHub pages have been doing for ages

We run our own Forgejo at home and couldn't be happier

I set up Forgejo with runners on Coolify on a Hetzner instance for myself, and it’s great. But I use Codeberg for code I want to publish.

Forgejo is working on forge federation, which would enable you to interact with repositories across Forgejo instances (including Codeberg). From my understanding it's still a long way off, but it's a super cool idea.

Because as awesome as Codeberg is, it's still a single point of failure that has to pay bills every month. Hopefully, spreading out the load by hosting projects on separate instances will become a seamless experience once forge federation is working.

Even with federation, the majority of people are still going to use the "main" instance. Look at how many Lemmy communities and users are on .world for example.

I predict most users will just stay on Github, since they've been there already.

[–] soc@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I moved quite a while ago and have no intentions of returning to Github.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You're on lemmy, i'm not talking about users like you that know better, but all the other users that don't and that's a majority of the GitHub users.

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

I can already assert my intentions to stay on GitHub, even with all the AI and spyware and stealing data and whatever, all my code that is public is also available for anyone else to train a model, and all of my private repos are just backups for shit that's probably not worth anything, all of my valuable shit I keep backed up my way. I guess if you were using GitHub to store your valuables then you'd be pissed but there's the taking-responsibility part.

Why Forgejo Actions and not Woodpecker CI, isn’t Woodpecker on Codeberg more stable? Yes, absolutely, in fact the documentation for Forgejo Actions on Codeberg is out of date right now

Waah?

Forgejo Actions will just feel way more familiar coming from GitHub Actions. The UI and YAML syntax is almost identical, and the existing actions ecosystem mostly works as-is on Codeberg.

Ah, ok. I don't care about that.

Setting up woodpecker.

I'm glad I got local runners set up already. Beyond that, it should be painless to migrate my projects over, when I get to it that is.
