1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Has anyone ever set up a local git repository?
Specifically, one that can be connected to not only locally, but remotely as well.
I'm thinking of using a Raspberry Pi 4 with a connected 500gb SSD (that should be plenty pig enough I think).
I don't want to use GitHub because they've been hacked a couple of times (unless someone here thinks it's secure enough).
I'm concerned with the amount of hassle required to install git locally, so I'm hesitant.

Haven't done this myself but git-scm has a chapter on it so that may help

I set up a GIT server on a Linux box in about half an hour. It's really simple to do.

Forgive me, but if your concern is security how is it more secure running an internet facing server locally versus using github?
Do you really think your own unmonitored network is more secure than git's? Are you that confident in your server, your firewall and the software itself?
I don't mean to criticize, I just feel like I'm missing something.
Maybe you plan on using VPN?

Maybe it is less likely a single individual computer/server might be less a target than something like github ?
I'd rather be phishing!

You're kidding maybe, but you raise an important point. The more people use it, the more people know about it, the more it gets out there, the higher your odds of being hacked.

That's true, but it amounts to "security by obscurity", which is a thing precisely because it is Bad(TM)
Github is serious bait though, so I understand, it's just that localizing it doesn't necessarily make you more safe - in fact, it will be less safe if someone *does* hack it, because then they're on your network.
Playing the odds with someone not finding out almost universally underestimates malicious actors, who use crawlers, hacked DNS servers, and scanners (all usually distributed) and the like to find vulnerable targets. That's part of why I said security by obscurity is Bad(TM)
I'm not a security expert, but I *may* have had more experience with it because of my background than some people here, and so I'm offering this FWIW.
Anyone who has been in a network security role, by all means weigh in here.

It might be worthwhile to invest in something like - they used to call it a steelhead server? - something that can take incoming VPN connections. Expose your services through that, since it dramatically decreases your vulnerable surface area of your network. Basically to even get a port list you have to pass challenge response auth on a hardened system.

Just saw this meme / quote[^].

I didn't get it at first because I've only seen a few examples of that meme. At first, I thought it was mawkish!

You just reminded me that I missed Sunshine Week this year!

Speaking of PITA people, I've often wondered if they know they are being a PITA? If they know, do they care? I swear, I know too many that seem to take pride in it, most notably the daily callers/texters.
