Does anyone know of anyone offering managed Forgejo hosting?

(I don’t mean Codeberg. All my stuff is already on Codeberg. I mean where I could have my own VPS running Forgejo just for our own projects but where I wouldn’t have to deal with managing yet another server.)

@Codeberg Sounds great, thanks. Outside my price range, sadly, for a single org/non-public instance where I’ll be hosting only a handful of repositories but great to see initiatives like this start to exist :)

(And it’s all thanks to you folks for making it possible.)

@aral @Codeberg What would be an acceptable price range?

Asking 'cos if there's a reasonable demand for this sort of thing, I might go ahead and start offering managed Forgejo hosting. With the caveat that unlike #codey, I choose the provider, because that makes it easier to set up different price tiers, and because then I only need to be familiar with the provider of my choice.

@algernon @Codeberg If it was along the lines of the first two tiers of toot.io’s pricing (which I’m familiar with as Jan hosts my Mastodon server), it would probably be a no-brainer for the lack of hassle of managing the server myself.

Wondering if Forgejo can be configured to allow forks only for public accounts to limit usage while allowing contributions. Or maybe it’s worth waiting until federation to run such an instance.

toot.io - Fully Managed Mastodon Hosting · toot.io - Fully Managed Mastodon Hostingtoot.io is a fully managed Mastodon hosting service.

@algernon @Codeberg Basically, I just need a fast/dependable place for our own projects (especially since apps on the Small Web are installed via git so if a repository is slow or unavailable it affects the overall performance of setting up new Small Web servers) while allowing for community contributions but not a place where anyone can host their own projects. (That’s what Codeberg, etc., are for.) :)

@aral @algernon @Codeberg it might be worth trying to build a "manages itself most of the time" setup with fedora CoreOS. While that isn't quite managed hosting, It's still painless for the most part.

@4censord I was actually really looking forward to using CoreOS for the servers set up with Domain¹ but it’s been a nightmare trying to find affordable VPS hosting that supports CoreOS as a first-class citizen. Tried to get Hetzner and Fedora to work together to support it but several years later we’re no nearer that being a thing so I’m going with AlmaLinux on Hetzner to begin with.

@algernon @Codeberg

@aral Thanks for the info! Mind if I ping you if I end up offering such a service? To see if you're still interested then. I'll probably figure out if I can and want to do so in the next month or two.

As for the fork question: no, that's not possible yet. You can disable forks instance wide though, and contributions should still be possible via AGit (but that's a bit awkward). On another note: quota support is under development, which might be a useful way to limit resource useage. Neither do quite what you asked, but might be alternatives, one way or the other.

@algernon Sure and best of luck if you do decide to go ahead with it :)
