self-hosted

re being able to vibe code your own (though tackling videos sharing and RTMP will be anything but trivial). > Make pixel perfect clone of Slack or Jira with SQLite or ejabberd behind. There's A LOT of functionality and features in Jira, the only thing that saves claims like that is that you probably don't use 80% and can just build what your company needs. I more or less did that for the hell of it (MariaDB + Garage + Dropwizard/Java + Angular/Spartan) and there was still so much supervision an changes that were needed - after pulling the Jira DB scheme and throwing about 60% of it in the trash (didn't need the automation), there was still A LOT of stuff to do and even the plans eat up a whole bunch of the context of the coding tools you intend to use, no matter how many checks and scripts you write to automate guardrails for when the models simply don't recall everything that is relevant. For people who want to self-host something basic, there's already the excellent https://kanboard.org/ (very very fast) For those that want something similarly depressingly slow to Jira while still locking some stuff behind a subscription (at least in the versions I tried) there's the passable https://www.openproject.org/ If those don't fit and you don't see anything exactly like what you need, you might try to build your own. But yeah, not a weekend project.

rk (https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/), even the colleagues on projects using Jekins migrated over to it and seems like everyone prefers it as well, the last poll showing 0 teams wanting to use Jenkins over it (well I might later for personal stuff, but that's more tool-hopping, like I also browser and distro hop; to see how things have changed). However, it was a bit annoying for me to keep up with the updates and the resource usage on a VPS so that's why my current setup is Gitea + Drone CI (might move over to Woodpecker CI) + Nexus instead of GitLab, and is way more lightweight and still has the features I need. Some people also might enjoy Forgejo or whatever, either way it's nice to have options!

ore? Of course, when SaaS is an option, many will just go for that.

ivate). Probably the latter? 2) How do you handle updates to your product? Employees work in public on GitHub. We ship more or less continuously to SaaS. It's possible to deploy approximately continuously on self-hosted as well, though we also bless monthly snapshots for a more relaxed cadence. Does that answer this question?

tions to the various licensing schemes in use nowadays, and a bunch of folks don't care. I care, though, because I have gotten immense value from open source projects, and have contributed changes back to quite a few. It has been my life experience that many of those "source available" licenses usually are very hostile toward making local real builds and if I can't build it to match how prod goes, then I can't test my fixes in my environment and then I can't contribute the PR with any faith

Search, PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL or something else) I'm glad that generally it's good enough for my needs, because I can't imagine actually having to self-host Sentry. Then again, something like Graylog does log shipping better and without a doubt Sentry has lots of nice features... as long as you don't have to run it yourself, because many people out there won't realistically be able to do so. > EDIT: the repo linked in the GP contains 3 instances of what you could call databases: MariaDB, Mongo, and Redis. That's not too bad, though, but seems like an interesting choice (both a regular RDBMS and a NoSQL one; Redis would probably be useful for caching etc. for either).

.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docker/dock... Sentry comes to mind (OpenTelemetry also isn't simpler due to how much it tries to do, given all the separate parts), compare its complexity to Skywalking: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-... I wish there was more self-hosted software like that out there, enough to address certain concerns in a simple way on day 1 and leave branching out to more complex options like OpenTelemetry once you have a separate team for that and the cash is rolling in.
