Hi
Which repositories platforms do FreeBSD community choose and why?
Are there some preferred ones or with better features/tools?
I chose www.codeberg.org as a free and open source platform.
thank you for sharing.
 
I've set up www/gitlab on my VPS. A bit overkill, but I like all the features it has. And it's self-hosted. Keeping it up to date can be a bit of a challenge though.

Fossil has a binary called "fossil" for everything. Not very unix, but easy to deal with. Keeping it up to date very easy.

A repository is also a single file, technically a sqlite3 db.

The cgi-script, let us call the file "repositories", contains something like:

#!/bin/fossil
directory: /path-to-a-dir
notfound: url-of-error-site

The directory "/path-to-a-dir" contains repositories, so many as you want.

If in "/path-to-a-dir" is a repository "xyz", then you call the repository with: host/cgi-bin/repositories/xyz

You get, after some configuration of the repository, sites like:







So simple is it.
