Our options are only as independent as our cloud provider(s)... Most cloud is supported by the same big tech. CDNs and other backend tools inside data-centers are often the same big tech subject to the same policies.
I think this is an important thing to do, to aid the migration of Nostr repos to Nostr.
We could host a OS gitserver of our choice (like Gitea) in the cloud and build APIs to make it more Nostr-y, and then tie it into the GitStuff NIP-34 clients.
Some individual devs have their stuff hosted on their own webservers, but smaller projects are stuck on GitHub. Leaving them open to censorship. Codeberg and etc. are just differently bad. And spreading everything out hinders collaboration.
I don't think we'll ever get off GitHub unless we have someplace to escape to, and our name is nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz .

Then we should host it on our own cloud?
Define "own cloud"
You ready to buy some hardware ????? :)
Hey, you always tell me that your rack is bigger than mine. Pics, or it didn't happen.
Bad opsec to be sharing the new setup publicly :)

Would you need any reverse proxy? Can sponsor a VPS if needed
I appreciate the offer! I already have a VPS to mask my IP I use stream tunneling so my user's don't have to break SSL in the cloud. So my internal load balancer is the only one who holds the keys.
The main reason I don't offer hosting is because I can't guarantee the uptime people are looking for, even though I usually do %99.9 or better. That and I only have a 100mb connection at the moment so that's fairly restrictive.
I've been keeping an eye on this one as an alternative to some of the big-name cloud providers: https://patmos.tech/
