I’m starting a new concept called “Open Services” for running Open Source Infrastructure similar to how Public Utilities are run today. There is more information about what Open Services is here: https://github.com/open-services/open-services
So, with that in mind, I was wondering if there is any interest in having a public, 100% open platform for Git hosting, with a deployed instance of Gitea for public use?
The service would be funded by the users on a voluntary basis. The infrastructure would be maintained by the Open Services community while the software would be the standard distribution of Gitea, without any extra services built on top.
Seems like there is interest, as there are many of these types of instances. The following are funded by the community that uses them:
Edit: Please don’t take this as me discouraging you, by me pointing out others are doing it is showing that it can be done. I encourage you to do this.
