Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I don't know a ton about Gitea, but I've recently starting looking for a simple git server + decent web UI
Gitea and Forgejo are the main recommended ones, but they both seem overly complex. (3D File previews?? Who needs that?)
Why overly complex? What do you mean?
Gitea is alright. It's a very well working git server.
Someone probably wanted the 3d preview and maybe it wasn't difficult. You could say integrating "gitea pages" would be a high priority but that doesn't mean that there can be side quests along the way. You can probably read the PR if you want to know why it's included
It seems designed for like teams of people. They both have like admin interfaces, which I can't ever imagine for my use case.
I'm sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.
Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.
There's soft serve but it doesn't have a UI
