BookStack Moves from GitHub to Codeberg
BookStack has migrated its public repositories from GitHub to Codeberg due to growing discomfort with GitHub's direction under Microsoft ownership. The project maintainers cited concerns about privacy, platform openness, and GitHub's increasing focus on AI-driven features over traditional open source development needs. The migration includes all secondary repositories, which have been archived on GitHub with links to their new homes on Codeberg.
- ▪BookStack has officially moved its repositories from GitHub to Codeberg as of July 27th, 2024.
- ▪The migration was motivated by concerns over GitHub's AI-centric evolution, data usage for training models without opt-in, and alignment with Microsoft's commercial interests.
- ▪The project values openness and privacy, and the team believes using an open platform like Codeberg better aligns with those principles.
- ▪GitHub's limitations on LFS bandwidth and changes to user experience in favor of revenue generation were additional factors in the decision.
- ▪While GitHub provided benefits like free hosting, CI/CD via Actions, and sponsorship income, the maintainers prioritized long-term platform independence.
