Codeberg is down

[alecco]

It seems everything bug CI is back up.

Congrats to Codeberg for having a real status page and not a made up one like AWS and many others.

[samdoesnothing]

What's better, CI thats built by monkeys or CI that's offline?

[phoronixrly]

Shame on Atlassian that during their last full bitbucket outage took an hour to even acknowledge an issue on their status page, then another full hour until the status page reflected the reality (that it was indeed a complete outage).

> Powered by Uptime Kuma

Uptime Kuma is really nice: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

Supports all sorts of alerts and can even tell you if it ever looks like your TLS certs will soon expire (if any automation is broken, or you use commercial certs with manual rotation).

Those made up status pages like AWS and Azure need to be signed up by a director so it doesn't hurt their pretty SLA.

"We are currently fighting against a DDoS attack against our service and our status page. We are analyzing network traffic with the help of our ISP at the moment and let you know once we have updates to share."

[Klonoar]

Didn't SourceHut go through the same issue?

(Yes, I'm aware DDoS attacks are nothing new)

[CodeCompost]

They're not paying the Cloudflare protection money?

[fabioborellini]

DDoS or just too many new legitimate clients?

[x3ro]

Since we've seen some high-profile projects move to Codeberg recently, and I was trying to sign-up, may be relevant to HN's interests :)

"Zig quits Github" is like two steps down from this on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46131406

:D

[dodos]

I was thinking the same thing, looks like a hug of death.

[veltas]

Good thing git is distributed!

I always like to move as much as possible into the repo itself, 'issues' etc in a TODO, build scripts, or however you want to achieve that, so you can at least carry on uninterrupted when the host is down.

[xz18r]

I had a few updates failing because parts of it are hosted on Codeberg. If anything, this shows that people are moving there.

[jdthedisciple]

Considering moving to Codeberg too, but only 90% uptime for codeberg.org has me concerned. Not a great look unfortunately

[tpoacher]

why not sourcehut?

[booleandilemma]

So when Codeberg gets famous what's to stop Microsoft or another behemoth from acquiring it and starting the whole cycle over again?

[Xylakant]

It’s an e.V., a German legal construct for public good organizations.

That doesn’t make it impossible to buy it, but all profits from a sale must flow into recognized public good efforts. The incentive to sell for huge sums is just much lower for all people involved.

[rsolva]

It is a non-profit association based in Berlin, and its very existence is a protest towards Microsoft and the other big actors in this space. And it is built on Forgejo, an open source project with a strong community around it.

Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech :)

"bad press is good press"

I don't care for Zig at all, and had never heard of Codeberg, they are now solidified in my mind aha

[jabbywocker]

Codeberg will never make it now, thomas has formed his final opinion

[ramon156]

I would say hug of death is very different to an outage due to an error. Still good to own up ofcourse!

[mariusor]

This is no hug, this is a villain kneecapping them with a pipe.

[sonderotis]

probably because of the zig migration lol /jk. first big project I see

[lousken]

Resource-wise it's 50x easier to run than gitlab, they should be fine.

[johnh-hn]

This is a bot. It's even copied the typo from the top comment.

[rvz]

Let's see if anyone will pay for Codeberg after the migration from GitHub.

[Aldipower]

Mister, thou cannot pay for Codeberg.
