Self-Hosting Gitness (Harness Open Source): Modern Git Hosting with Built-In CI/CD Most self-hosted Git solutions make you bolt on CI/CD as an afterthought. You set up Gitea, then add Woodpecker or Drone, configure webhooks, manage two sets of credentials, and pray the integration doesn’t break during updates. Gitness — now officially Harness Open Source — takes a different approach. It’s a single binary that ships Git hosting, CI/CD pipelines, code review, secret scanning, and cloud developer environments in one package. Born as the next generation of Drone CI, it inherits Drone’s container-native pipeline philosophy while adding a complete source control layer on top. ...

Self-Hosting Woodpecker CI: Lightweight Continuous Integration Most self-hosted CI/CD tools are either overkill for a homelab or painful to configure. Jenkins needs a PhD in XML. GitLab CI requires GitLab. GitHub Actions is locked to GitHub’s cloud (or a heavyweight self-hosted runner setup). Woodpecker CI takes a different approach: a lightweight, container-native CI/CD engine that uses ~100 MB of RAM for the server and ~30 MB per agent. It’s a community fork of Drone CI (before the license change), fully open source under Apache 2.0, and used in production by Codeberg — one of the largest community Git hosting platforms. ...

Self-Hosting Coolify: Your Own Heroku-Like PaaS Remember when Heroku had a free tier and deploying apps was just git push heroku main? Coolify brings that experience back — on your own hardware. It’s an open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that handles deployments, SSL certificates, databases, and more through a clean web interface. No more manually writing Docker Compose files for every project. No more SSH-ing into servers to debug deployments. Coolify gives you a Vercel/Heroku-like experience while keeping everything under your control. ...
