Ubuntu 24.04LTS reporting in!

You might mention the library license of the underlying library, it’s strictly non commercial meaning yours is too.

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop “fixed that” for you, but the dirty secret is it’s basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

I agree, Rancher Desktop over Podman Desktop. But if you want to cut out Docker CE completely, I think Podman is the only option.

Podman or Rancher Desktop

If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.
