I'm considering host a gitea instance backup all of my repos.

I have an important fix that need to be deployed right now but there is no way to deploy it in a normal way with our CI which one was setup with Github Action. Fortunately I have a instruction to bypass CI and build the source by myself.

But again, Github defeat me because our release workflows are depend on GitOps which are effected by Github issue. Ahhhhhhhhhh I have to build the docker image, push it to ECR then update a YAML template to make EKS apply the new changes

It's 9PM in my timezone and I'm waiting for my patches are up. A frustrating incident

Gitea's ability to create a local repository as mirror of a remote repository is great for this. You can stay on Github and have your code regularly mirrored locally.

If only Git had this sort of functionality built in…

Pretty sure git can not continuously pull/push the mirrored repo like this feature does, by default every 10 minutes.

This is a one line cron job

Just a mounted drive over sshfs...

Gitea can run your CI actions too, and host your releases.

I have this setup running on a Synology NAS at home. I'm currently syncing all of my starred github repos to local storage using a short bash script that runs once a week. Once a repo is in gitea, it pulls any new updates from github every 6 hours or so. It's mostly for archival purposes, just in case something majorly bad happens to github.

Would you share your setup?

I'm interested in building the same but if yours already works well then I see no point in duplicating important work.

[sklarsa]

Sure!

Here's a gist to the script: https://gist.github.com/sklarsa/845152721ee9292eb01f70756b89...

As for gitea, I'm just hosting it using Docker and orchestrating using a simple docker-compose file that maps the gitea data directory to a Volume on the synology: https://gist.github.com/sklarsa/0dd6d6094dac6bf6e7bf61df9ca5...

It's all hosted on my private network at home.

Or use Gitlab. I remember doing a mirror syncing from Github with one of my gitlab repository. The main reason I used to do it is Gitlab offer free built-in CI at that time In my case one of most important thing is the GitOps workflow. It's single source of truth so it's also single point of failure ;(
