A forge like Codeberg is great for collaboration, but if you mean private as in just-for-yourself, pushing to a bare repo on just about anything will get it done. No need for a software forge. If you already sync files somehow, like some dropbox equivelant, put bare repos on there and push/pull from there. That said, forgejo is very easy to self-host and the identical UI to Codeberg.

mintiefresh@piefed.ca 7 months agoI would like to but I do want some private repos.
Maybe self hosting is the best move from here on in.

I don’t do any development, but my stepkid is starting to get into it, so I set up a forgejo container on my server. I had zero issues setting it up and now I’m planning on using it for my own purposes.

Top notch stepdad.

Git is great for a folder of plain text notes and writing. Even binary files are okay, but you don’t benefit from the line-by-line diffs.

Private repos, if you don’t need a forge, can easily be pushed to a VPS with ssh

Doesn’t Codeberg have private repos? I could’ve sworn I’ve created one.

It does: docs.codeberg.org/…/first-repository/ (visibility option)

Thank you. I will have to look.
I haven't used Codeberg before so I was kind of just assuming.
I think I will make my way over to Codeberg.
