Self-hosting Forgejo has been on my radar for a while. Can't exactly advocate for digital sovereignty while my source code lives on GitHub, eh?

Setup was quick - Canadian VPS, Docker, done in 30 minutes.

The real rabbit hole was custom templates, the usual CSS, and meta-tags

Storm Forge: Canadian Code. Canadian Servers.

Git hosting by Storm Developments. Repos, issues, CI/CD — never leaves Canada.

Storm Forge: Canadian Code. Canadian Servers. (git.stormdevelopments.ca)

It's private for now, but honestly... we don't really have a Canadian Codeberg, do we?

@smattymatty nice! can you recommend resources on how to do the "skinning"? (i am not a frontend person, so i still have this part to do)

@smattymatty Did the same a few weeks ago. Mainly for mirroring my Github-Repositories: that's super easy with Forgejo
