Moving to Codeberg

Posted by fedops in misc   

Just a short entry to announce that the move of this blog is complete.

As explained in Moving to Gitlab I happily run the awesome Gitlab Community Edition at work. It is a great Git forge to use when you're not comfortable shipping your source code or configurations off to places that will get hacked eventually.

However, I wasn't happy with the non-free nature of hosted Gitlab. This article explains some of the reasons. It obviously is everybodys' own decision what services to use, but I wasn't very comfortable anymore.

Additionally, while Gitlab Page's automatic build pipeline is quite nice, I started having more and more problems with the modified Jekyll theme which resulted in the builds failing with very little information as to what went wrong.

Meanwhile, I had learned about the Pelican SSG static site generator which is written in Python, runs locally on your machine, and offers pretty much everything I wanted (and then some) to maintain and work on my site. I especially like how you can generate the pages locally and proofread/fix them without having pushed anything. I'll write a howto about my workflow soon.

So this blog has moved again, this time to Codeberg which is what you are reading right now.
