I know someone[0] who is working on exactly this right now: https://fossilrepo.io/

I don't think he's got public sign ups turned on yet. Maybe hit him up on the Twitter for more info.

[0] - https://x.com/ragelink



There's also "Chisel - Fossil SCM Hosting".

"This service is completely free and run because a service like it should exist."

https://chiselapp.com/

"All public repositories":

https://chiselapp.com/repositories/

I don't know if it has all the GitHub features people may be looking for.

Chisel runs on Flint, "The ISC licensed codebase behind http://chiselapp.com.":

EDIT: Add "...should exist." sentence from the homepage.


This appears to be down.


It worked on ipv6 only for like a year, it seemed to be back this last month but it seems to be back down right now probably because of this whole github ragequit happening.


I'm just seeing these two replies today, but it appears to be back up. Timestamp: ca. 2026-05-03 14:19 UTC
