Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, looks like I have some more thinking about how to frame this.

there's a host your own version thats available now https://fossilrepo.dev live server (demo) in fossilrepo.io which is a modern wrapper UI. There's also the standard https://fossil-scm.org/ which you can also host yourself on a $5/mo server on Hertzner or the like.

Funny timing — I've been working on a hosted Fossil service to scratch this exact itch. The integrated wiki+forum+tickets+code is killer for small teams, but most people who'd pick Fossil don't actually want to babysit a server. So we host it.

Two things I keep coming back to: (1) The "opinionated / small-teams only" critique others have raised in this thread is real, and I think Fossil should own it instead of fighting it. The 5,000-engineer monorepo market is a solved problem (Git won). Fossil should own the 1-50 person bracket — where having issues, wiki, forum, and code in one self-contained, syncable SQLite file is a huge unfair advantage.

(2) AI agents are a brand-new reason to look at Fossil that didn't exist when Git won. Every repo is a queryable SQLite file. An agent reads tickets + wiki + code + history with one SELECT — not 47 GraphQL calls and a rate limit. RAG and MCP setups against the repo become trivial.

We're stuck on the name (fossilforge vs fossilhub). If you have an opinion: https://fossilhub.io | https://fossilforge.io — vote, get early access.

The self-hosted side is already shipping at fossilrepo.io if you'd rather run your own.

--- Disclosure: founder, so grain of salt accordingly.

The core issue for me is, I don't want to trust someone else with my code, or run my stuff on their computers. I don't see serious enterprise organizations offloading something as critical to security outside their own network perimeter.

awesome!

Vibe coding for the win... In all seriousness, this has been a constant decline as developers have focused away from performance and optimizing effective runtime.

I've had the pleasure to work with Patrick on a couple of occasions and can attest to him being an amazing developer and a great person both in and outside the office.

Most of all he's great at deep diving into complex problems and situations and come out with a good solution.

  Looking for an SRE/DevOps and/or Management of ops related teams

I work in a place with an "unlimited" vacation policy, your release being discretionary by your manager per your delivery and current work load, etc. However its also been shared that you may only take up to 2 weeks at a time, essentially killing someone's opportunity to work for a while and do an extended euro trip or something. I tend to do 1 week at a time so I get maybe 2 and some odd extended holidays here and there.
