Yeah let’s instead install a massive bloated shit project that the original developers left years ago and the maintainers don’t know heads from tails of the code base because it’s too massive to maintain

So much this. I recently had OneDev recommended to me as a forgejo alternative. I was told that it was "very lightweight." Intrigued I tried it out. It fuckin' runs java and is resource heavy as fuck. Just sitting idle it consumes almost 13% of VPS RAM: http://i.xno.dev/u/SGXxO2.png

You still have 63% RAM available in that screenshot, there are zero problems with Java using 13% RAM. It's the same as the tired old trope of "ChRoMe Is EaTiNg My MeMoRy". Unused memory is wasted memory if it can be used for caching instead, so unless you're running out of available memory, there is no problem.

Also, the JVM has a lot of options for configuring its various caches as well as when it allocates or releases memory. Maybe take a look at that first.

Edit: Apparently people don't want to hear this but don't have any actual arguments to reply with. Sorry to ruin your "JaVa BaD" party.

Sad that you're downvoted for being right.

Java apps can be memory hogs, but anything else can be too. The jvm is exceptionally performant for persistently running apps.

[-] Opeth@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah. Why have RAM when you're not gonna use it? The JVM is pretty efficient

Sweet color scheme, what's the name?

[-] Xanza@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Application is bashtop. Terminal theme is gruvbox.

I don't know what you're running there mate, Forgejo is a golang app.

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I would assume it is OneDev, as the previous poster tried it as an alternative to Forgejo.

[-] Xanza@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

Forejo isn't an "app." It's a for-profit fork of Gitea... It's a hosted git solution. Quite a bit more than "an app."

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Did you say "For-Profit" ? Are you ok my dear ?

[-] jonathan@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

The fuck is Forejo. I'm running a personal Forgejo instance and have contributed to the project. It is not for-profit.
