About Cheers

Cheers is a private Forgejo instance, run by Jon for a few friends who wanted a quiet corner of the internet for code.

If you have an account, you have my deliberate trust. Be cool.

What this is

A small, private software forge for trusted collaborators. It has Git hosting, issues, pull requests, packages, and CI for the handful of people invited in.

The boring operational bits are handled elsewhere so this page can stay what it should be: a front door, not a floor plan.

Your data is reasonably safe

There are real backup and recovery processes behind this instance. They are not magic, but they have been tested, which is more than can be said for many things with a dashboard.

The honest gap: recovering one accidentally overwritten repo is doable, but not yet a one-click operation. If that becomes a real concern, the backup setup gets more granular.

CI runners

CI is available for trusted work. The trust model is intentionally small: this is fine for people I trust and wrong for hostile code. Don't run anything weird, and please don't share runner access with strangers' workflows.

If the trust model ever changes, the runner setup gets isolated more aggressively.

A few defaults worth knowing

• Self-signup is off. New accounts come from Jon directly.
• New repos default to whichever visibility you chose last time. Your very first repo may default to public, so keep an eye on that.
• Anonymous visitors can browse public repos. Private repos 404 to logged-out users, so they don't even know the repo exists.
• 2FA is encouraged on every account.

Who runs this

Jon. Best reached by email (jon@jonfriesen.ca) or on Discord. If something's broken and I'm not responding, there's a written recovery runbook so someone else could follow it.

And yes, that cool dog in the logo is my dog Fred.
