Hey, community :)

I run a website that showcases the best open-source companies. Recently, I’ve added a new feature that filters self-hosted tools and presents them in a searchable format. Although there are other options available, like Awesome-Selfhosted, I found it difficult to find what I needed there, so I decided to display the information in a more digestible format.

You can check out the list here: https://openalternative.co/self-hosted

Let me know if there’s anything else I should add to the list.

Thanks!

    Never heard of 99% in that list.

    Also, Gitea should not be there. It is a corporate -owned open core project that was hostilely taken away from the community.

      While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

        It falls under self hosted, at least. If it is still truly open source is highly debatable.

      Didn’t know that. Do you have more info/source?

        There – of course – won’t be a singular official source stating “Hey guys, we’re open core now”. You need to put this together bit-by-bit.

        Here are some links for research

        • Official statement on the takeover
        • Gitea Enterprise/Gitea Cloud hiding features behind a cloud solution and a paywall which makes Gitea itself open-core
        • Open Letter to the new Gitea owners with a summary and a reply, signed by a lot of Gitea devs and FOSS scene people.
        • As @[email protected] mentioned: A fork under the name Forgejo was done due to new Gitea owners did not care much about the concerns. (Started as asoft-fork but with 10.0 it became a hard fork.)
        • Gitea owners made it mandaroy to remove copyright headers and set the corporation as copyright holder. Here, here, and here
