Welcome to the 雨HUT wiki. For now, assume that the totality of the sr.ht wiki applies here until further notice.

#FAQ

(Frequently-Asked by the guy I just made up)

#Why the name?

This place is run by ~aleteoryx, whose website is aleteoryx.me. ame! あめ! 雨! 雨 is Japanese for rain, and with the backend software being called SourceHut, rain-hut seemed like a good name. This is also the reason for the tagline.

#Why SourceHut?

The admin is both a snob and tired of hosting large software projects. The largest self-hosted git forges are bulky, messy pieces of software. Many also give the admin some sort of bad vibe.

SourceHut is by no means a small project, but it is simple to host and significantly simpler on the frontend than any alternative. The admin also likes that its email-based features essentially allow accountless contributions.

#What services are running?

  • project hub
  • git repos
  • mercurial repos
  • wikis (you're here right now!)
  • mailing lists
  • issue trackers

The subdomains have parity with sr.ht subdomains, e.g. meta.sr.ht == meta.amehut.dev.

#What's this thing running on, anyway?

A 2008 Dell Inspiron with 2 gigs of DDR2 and a Core 2 Duo.

Yep.

Pic coming soon!

#Anything else I should know?

The mailserver has some haphazard bits of configuration that might impact spam filtering.

The admin will fix it.

Eventually.

#Well that's probably fine, how do I sign up?

Right now? You don't. If you know the admin, contact them off-of-here and ask for an account. If you don't, you're SOL. Try regular SourceHut lol.
