## Opengist example
I mentioned on Mastodon that I was trying to move most of my projects off of Big Tech™ and one of the ways I am doing that is [hosting similar platforms on my own servers](/posts/selfhosting-coolify).
Recently I decided to use decentralized and open source platforms for my website deployment and hosting, where I can create a webhook from my GitHub-like platform of choice and instantly deploy that site to Coolify.
## Another option
I also use [PikaPods](https://pikapods.com) to deploy more resource intensive apps like Nextcloud as PikaPods doesn't bill you; you just top up your account. This way you're not saddled with an unexpected server bill.
## First pick a platform
I am using both [Gitea](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea) and [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/), both for very different things. But the idea is to decentralize _git_ as a hosted service that doesn't need to funnel through Big Tech™ infrastructure.
Both of these options are extremely lightweight and don't require a ton of resources. Neither will bog down your server.
Both are using the Gitea _framework_, or _platform_ if you want to call it that. You can do pretty much the same _GitHub-like_ things on both.
### Simple way of installing
Either using `docker-compose.yaml` or a service like PikaPods.
An example of a docker compose file:
```yaml
networks:
forgejo:
external: false
services:
server:
image: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:10
container_name: forgejo
environment:
- USER_UID=1000
- USER_GID=1000
+ - FORGEJO__database__DB_TYPE=postgres
+ - FORGEJO__database__HOST=db:5432
+ - FORGEJO__database__NAME=forgejo
+ - FORGEJO__database__USER=forgejo
+ - FORGEJO__database__PASSWD=forgejo
restart: always
networks:
- forgejo
volumes:
- ./forgejo:/data
- /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
ports:
- "3000:3000"
- "222:22"
+ depends_on:
+ - db
+
+ db:
+ image: postgres:14
+ restart: always
+ environment:
+ - POSTGRES_USER=forgejo
+ - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=forgejo
+ - POSTGRES_DB=forgejo
+ networks:
+ - forgejo
+ volumes:
+ - ./postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
```
_Example of a docker-compose file from the Forgejo website_
Usually you wouldn't need a full-on database for this; the initial setup just needs sqlite, most self-hosted projects using Forgejo don't need a database like Postgres because most of the time, the scale is smaller[^1].
This process is similar for Gitea as well.
## Opengist for hosting your own code snippets
I discovered [Opengist](https://opengist.io/) sometime last year. The end of last year was an absolute _nightmare_ so I didn't install it, I didn't have the energy. It wasn't until recent events in the US that I thought it might be a good idea to bring all my projects over to Gitea, Forgejo, and host my gists on Opengist.
Their docker compose example is simple:
```yaml
services:
opengist:
image: ghcr.io/thomiceli/opengist:1
container_name: opengist
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "6157:6157" # HTTP port
- "2222:2222" # SSH port, can be removed if you don't use SSH
volumes:
- "$HOME/.opengist:/opengist"
environment:
# OG_LOG_LEVEL: info
# other configuration options
```
You can configure auth and permissions when you first login or you can add environment variables in a `secrets.env` file on your server. Then run `docker compose up -d` and off you go.
You can also just run: `docker run --name opengist -p 6157:6157 -v "$HOME/.opengist:/opengist" ghcr.io/thomiceli/opengist:1`

## Your choice
I know there is a lot of chatter about self-hosting and decentralized networks in general lately and it is definitely a time commitment to roll your own tech stack but I find it works for me. You can do it cheaply or in your own home using your own hardware and internet service[^2]. Either way, there are choices. Self-host is the best one, and I want to convince you of this. But it _is_ your choice to make.
[^1]: Unless you're uploading large files then maybe something like Postgres is needed.
[^2]: Be careful; some ISPs don't like giving out static IP addresses on home networks so check with them before doing it. Or, just try it and see what happens.
