  • I use owncloud infinite scale and overall its rock solid. The downside is the lack of plugins. Nextcloud has been nothing but trouble for me and every update was a mess so I decided to try OCIS and for my need I was extremely satisfied.

    Now, I admit, I’m not one to get carried by the drama in the FOSS sphere (still use Gitea) but I do agree there is an history to the separation of owncloud and nextcloud that can make some people uncomfortable. Having a choice is good I believe.










  • I know the language is really academics focused and is really strong in that sense. Otherwise I found that it was a great language for long running services. I use it for some APIs and algorithm trading bots.

    I’m debating putting more hours into it, maybe trying a website in genie, but I agree the current ecosystem makes it a hard sell when I can use python instead.





  • Forgejo contains all of Gitea, and that has the benefit of allowing Forgejo to be a drop-in replacement. With the decision to become a hard fork, this will no longer be guaranteed

    I’m glad to see them move their own direction but I’m skeptical considering the amount of commits they take directly from Gitea. I could see this becoming more like a Fedora/Rhel type of fork but we’ll see.

    I’m personally staying with Gitea for now as I have yet to find a reason to switch.



  • I’ll say that as someone who stopped using docker and went back to deploying from source in lxc containers: dockers is a great tool for the majority of people and that is exactly what it aims to be, easily reusable in as many different setups as possible.

    On the flip side, yes it may happen that you would not benefit from docker for a reason or another. I don’t, in my case docker only adds another layer over my already containerized setup and many of the services I deploy are already built from source in a CI/CD workflow and deployed through ansible.

    I do have other issues with docker but those are usually less with the tool and more with how some project use docker as a mean to replace proper deployment documentations.
