GitHub Actions Is Down

5 hours going now and the entire thing is still completely down. This level of incompetence and their total disrespect for their customers is unbelievable.

Yeah, I think this one might be the straw that broke the camel's back and our team will look to migrate to something non-microsoft to be away from this nonsense.

My company is migrating repositories over to a self-hosted forgejo instance, currently very jealous of the engineers working on those migrated repos.

Beware, CodeBerg (ForgeJo creators) has forbidden AI & crypto: https://hackaday.com/2026/07/24/codeberg-bans-cryptocurrency...

But that's on their (free!) hosted OSS platform.

No-one's stopping you hosting your own projects.

I don't think they have to worry about that since they are self-hosting.

Azure DevOps (Also MS owned but more stable than GitHub), GitLab, Codeberg, etc.

More stable because its vastly less popular.

And if you thought the GitHub actions hybrid mix of JavaScript templates embedded in yaml was a nightmare, I have bad news for you with respect to ADO pipeline configuration documents...

Yeah I went through hell migrating everything from ADO to GH Actions a year or so ago and even after all this I'm not even slightly close to wanting to go back

tangled supports selfhosted CI runners using NixOS microvms: https://blog.tangled.org/spindle-microvm/

selfhosted runners do not go down when our CI is down, its operates separately.

I got Claude to write a forejo instance in TF (oidc + CI runners + daily backups + the works) in half a day.
