Gitgud - alternative to github - and expiring access tokens

[LoudLemur]

Gitgud mentions that access tokens from github have changed and will expire.

Would Gitgud be pleasantly compatible with Cloudron?

[fbartels]

What do you think Gidgud is offering as a service? How do you think Cloudron would be involved in it?

Background and History

GitGud.io was created October 2014 in response to other popular git hosting services active participation in user politics. Sapphire runs GitGud.io along with many other services. We are a user-supported open source company. Our company is designed in such a way that users are our only source of income, so we only serve them, their needs, and no other 3rd parties. This allows us to keep high standards of privacy and customer service.

How do you make money with GitGud being free?

We don't! We used to rely entirely on donations, but these days, we pay for GitGud out-of-pocket with our normal full-time jobs. We have learned a lot about hosting stuff inexpensively. We own our hardware out-right so we don't have the same recurring monthly costs.

We aim to make money through premium sold services via Sapphire. We will never take away what was free, and GitGud started a decade ago free and will stay free

Is there a limit to how big my repo can be?

Nope, we have no limit on how big a repo can be or how many you can have. We just ask that repos contain data related to development and that binary data be stored in Git LFS

Cloudflare Access Deny on Sign In/Sign Up

If you are getting an Access Denied page from Cloudflare on Sapphire Accounts, it is because your country's IP is blacklisted due to high volumes of abuse. If your country ends up on this blacklist, we will not remove it for your individual use. Utilize a VPN on a US based or western Europe based hosting service using non-Digital Ocean IPs.

This was what I was hinting at. Gitgud is somebody elses installation of Gitlab. And not really an app of its own. And they are also just saying that Gitlab has discontinued access tokens without an expiry date (because unrestricted tokens are generally a bad idea), the same will most likely apply to Gitlab running on Cloudron as well.

But since this question was posted in off topic and not in the app wishlist I was wondering how it would relate to Cloudron.

Github was bought by M$FT. I don't have trust in them and hope that Cloudron is aware of and considers alternatives to Github. Thanks for pointing out Gitgud seems to be an instance of Gitlab.

Yes, but that was already years ago. And I am very sure the cloudron team is very well aware of GitHub alternatives. In fact instead of GitHub the cloudron team uses an own instance of gitlab for their own code and the app code.

@LoudLemur you probably know this, but Cloudron code is on a GitLab instance on a Cloudron https://git.cloudron.io so all this seems quite unrelated tbh.
