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
I don't know what you're running there mate, Forgejo is a golang app.
I would assume it is OneDev, as the previous poster tried it as an alternative to Forgejo.
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."
The fuck is Forejo. I'm running a personal Forgejo instance and have contributed to the project. It is not for-profit.
Did you say "For-Profit" ? Are you ok my dear ?
Not to be that guy, but 12% of 8G isn’t even close to ”heavy as fuck” for a CI/CD and collaboration suite that seems aimed at enterprise users.
You can also tweak how much memory you’d like the jvm to grab with ’-Xms100m’. Any defaults are most likely aimed at much larger deployments than yours.
But yes, Java is a disease.
It's not being used for CI/CD, so it's a webui for git. It absolutely is heavy as fuck for just sitting there.
Just going off the marketing here:
From the looks of it, they also seem to bundle the vscode server and a bunch of other stuff. I’m actually kinda surprised they do it with only 1G of RAM.
Sweet color scheme, what's the name?
Application is bashtop. Terminal theme is gruvbox.
I think it's Gruvbox but I could be wrong
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.
Yeah. Why have RAM when you're not gonna use it? The JVM is pretty efficient
I suggest Fossil as an alternative to Forgejo. Reminder it's an alternative to git itself (If you wish to use it)
Made by D. Richard Hipp? I do love SQLite....
Yes that one, comes with built-in ticketting, wiki, bug-tracker & webserver & web-UI
