Set up official mirrors? #4619

Open 6543 opened 3 years ago

6543 commented 3 years ago

inf view to #4618 and similar issues ...

it would be nice if there are official mirrors of the importand NewPipe source code.

TheAssassin commented 3 years ago

Some maintainers have set up mirrors of the NewPipe repositories already. The code will always continue to live on.

Mirroring issues/PRs and keeping them in sync is significantly harder. Suggestions appreciated!

Gitea can mirror everything.

TheAssassin commented 3 years ago

Only upon migrations, it seems. Gitea mirrors don't support issues/PRs.

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/6290 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1876

Please post your sources along with your suggestions.

@TheAssassin You need to add your Github username/password, and the choice will appear.

Note that the mirrors are fixed (IE not updating)

TheAssassin commented 3 years ago

Again: you are talking about a migration, not a mirror. Migrations are one-off copies, they're imported exactly once. A true mirror is auto-updated with the remote's changes.

TheFrenchGhosty commented 3 years ago

Gitea only support that for the code itself.

I don't think anything exist for what you want.

I suggested using Git-ipfs in #4618, it has the benefit of being decentralized

We're looking for solutions to back up the metadata, i.e., issues and PRs. Backing up the source code is easy.

I don't think any distributed repository stuff is viable or useful. And with so-called peer-to-peer stuff, there's privacy concerns as well.

This might be difficult but has the team considered a self hosted gitlab server? That would be significantly much harder to takedown with frivolous threats and actions

6543 commented 3 years ago

git-bug may be an option for issues ... but did not use it at the moment, so I cant tell mouch about it

I told you in previous post that you can backup metadata with GitLab's GitHub importer.

TheAssassin commented 3 years ago

And I explained before, more than once, that we're looking for a backup tool, not a one-off import thingy. It's generally a good idea to have backups.

We do not intend to run for the next US-company-hosted platform.

6543 commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges

:point_up: to be more spicific with "git-bug"

EDIT: but this is realy off-topic now - the issue is about referencing code mirrors in official README/Docs/Website

imShara commented 3 years ago

You can run self-hosted instance and mirror to it every day

6543 commented 3 years ago

@imShara I'm asking for official mirrors since they should be widely known and users should have trust not to get a malicious version ...

yes I can and do mirror NewPipe myselve (https://code.obermui.de/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe) - but thats not the point

TheAssassin commented 3 years ago

@imShara please stop insisting on this. I'm surely not going to reimport the entire project every day somewhere. That's a waste of energy. It is not a solution. Neither is git-bug, it doesn't even seem to allow imports.

We need some true backup solution. Something that can incrementally back up the data, and ideally make it easy to import the data somewhere else whenever we need to in the future.

"But you can self host" -- no, we're not looking for something to self-host. We need a backup system. Period.

Edit: in fact, git-bug seems to provide incremental back-ups. I'll check it out. Thanks @6543.

@TheAssassin git-bug has bridges witch do import and export

https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug#bridges

SoniEx2 commented 3 years ago

@ganarchy can sorta be used for this if someone decides to implement signed projects on it...

(otherwise it's kinda just a decentralized development (a la the kernel) system. so not really "official mirrors" as much as "censorship-resistant forks".)
