|

Federated Computer empowers businesses with self-hosted, privacy-focused tools to enhance productivity and profitability. One of the key components of our suite is Gitea—a powerful, open-source alternative to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Choose Gitea Over GitHub?
|
||||
|
||||
While GitHub Copilot, GitHub Desktop, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Enterprise dominate the market, they come with limitations:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Vendor lock-in** (your data lives on GitHub's servers)
|
||||
- **High costs** (especially for enterprise GitHub plans)
|
||||
- **Limited customization** (GitHub API has restrictions)
|
||||
|
||||
Gitea solves these problems by offering:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Self-hosted Git repositories** (full control over your code)
|
||||
- **Lightweight & fast** (runs on low-resource devices, even a Raspberry Pi)
|
||||
- **Built-in CI/CD** (similar to GitHub Actions)
|
||||
- **No pricing tiers** (unlike GitHub pricing, which scales per user)
|
||||
- **Open-source & customizable** (MIT licensed, unlike proprietary GitHub features)
|
||||
|
||||
## Gitea vs. GitHub vs. GitLab
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Gitea | GitHub | GitLab |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Hosting | Self-Hosted | Cloud | Both |
|
||||
| Open-Source | ✔ (MIT) | ❌ Partial | ✔ Yes |
|
||||
| CI/CD | ✔ Gitea Actions | ✔ GitHub Actions | ✔ GitLab CI/CD |
|
||||
| System Resources | Low | High (cloud-based) | High |
|
||||
| Customization | ✔ High | ❌ Limited | ✔ High |
|
||||
| Pricing | Free | Paid Tiers | Free + Enterprise |
|
||||
|
||||
Gitea is ideal for businesses that need:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private repositories** without GitHub's paywall
|
||||
- **Internal DevOps workflows** (like GitHub Enterprise but self-hosted)
|
||||
- **Seamless migration** from GitHub for Windows or GitHub Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
## How Federated Computer Enhances Gitea
|
||||
|
||||
At Federated Computer, we bundle Gitea with other self-hosted productivity tools to help businesses:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reduce SaaS costs** (avoid GitHub pricing and vendor lock-in)
|
||||
- **Improve security** (host code internally, no reliance on GitHub API)
|
||||
- **Boost efficiency** (integrate with internal CI/CD, like GitHub Actions alternatives)

## What is Headscale?

Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server, giving businesses full control over their private networks without relying on third-party cloud services.

||||
- **Self-hosted network control** — Run your own coordination server

||||
- **Open-source transparency** — No hidden code or vendor restrictions

Every business has photos: job sites, products, events, receipts, the team offsite. Most of them end up in someone's personal Google Photos or iCloud account, scanned, indexed, and tied to a storage plan that grows every year.
|
||||
|
||||
Immich is a high-performance, open-source photo and video platform that gives you the experience people love about Google Photos — automatic backup, instant search, memories, and easy sharing — running on your own Federated Core. Your pictures stay yours.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Choose Immich?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Automatic Backup From Every Phone** — The iPhone and Android apps back up photos and videos in the background, including Live Photos and Motion Photos, and skip duplicates automatically.
|
||||
- **Search That Actually Finds Things** — Search by people, places, objects, dates, and camera details. Immich understands what's in a photo, so "red truck" or "whiteboard" just works.
|
||||
- **Face Recognition** — Immich groups faces for you, so you can find every photo of a person in seconds. The recognition runs on your server, not in someone else's cloud.
|
||||
- **Albums and Sharing** — Build shared albums for a project or a team, share a public link with a customer, or give a partner access to your whole library.
|
||||
- **A Map of Every Shot** — See where photos were taken on a global map, and view the full EXIF details of any image.
|
||||
- **Built for Real Libraries** — Raw formats, 360° images, stacked photos, tags, folder views, favorites, and an archive for what you want to keep but not see every day.
|
||||
- **Multi-User From Day One** — Every person gets their own library, with administrators managing users and storage.

## How Immich Fits Into Federated Computer
|
||||
|
||||
Immich is installed uniquely for you on your own Federated Core, alongside Nextcloud and the rest of your apps, with one login for your team.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Completely private** — Your photos are never used for advertising or to train anyone's AI.
|
||||
- **Backed up for you** — On hosted plans, your library is included in your Federated backups, so a lost phone never means lost pictures.
|
||||
- **One predictable price** — No per-person storage plans. Add storage as your library grows.
|
||||
- **No lock-in** — Immich is open-source. Your originals are stored as regular files you can take with you at any time.

Marketing automation platforms like HubSpot and Marketo price by the size of your contact list. The better your marketing works, the more you pay — and your entire customer database lives on their servers.

Every business runs on small, repetitive tasks: copying a new lead into the CRM, posting a form submission to the team chat, sending a follow-up email, updating a spreadsheet. Automation services like Zapier and Make will do that for you — and charge you for every task, while your business data flows through their servers.
|
||||
|
||||
n8n is a workflow automation platform that lets you build those automations visually, extend them with code, and put AI agents to work inside them. On Federated Computer, n8n runs on your own Federated Core, right next to the apps it automates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Choose n8n?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build Visually, Code When You Want To** — Drag and drop nodes to design a workflow, then add JavaScript or Python wherever you need custom logic.
|
||||
- **Hundreds of Integrations** — n8n ships with 500+ pre-built integrations, and can call any service with an API when there isn't one.
|
||||
- **AI Agents Inside Your Workflows** — Build agents that reason, use tools, and work with your own documents, with a choice of AI models.
|
||||
- **A Human in the Loop** — Add approval steps, so an agent drafts and a person decides.
|
||||
- **Easy to Debug** — See every execution step by step, replay runs with saved data, and re-run from any step.
|
||||
- **Thousands of Templates** — Start from a community template instead of a blank canvas.

## Take Control of Your Cloud Data with Nextcloud
|
||||
|
||||
In today's digital world, businesses need secure, scalable, and flexible cloud storage solutions that protect their data while boosting productivity. Nextcloud is an open-source, self-hosted cloud platform that lets you store, sync, and share files—without relying on third-party providers like Google Cloud, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
|
||||
|
||||
At Federated Computer, we bundle Nextcloud with our suite of IT cloud services to help businesses increase productivity, enhance security, and reduce costs. Whether you need cloud data storage, online document collaboration, or secure file sharing, Nextcloud delivers enterprise-grade performance while keeping your data under your control.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Nextcloud is the Best Cloud Storage Solution for Businesses
|
||||
|
||||
- **Secure Cloud Data Storage & File Sharing**
|
||||
- Nextcloud provides end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, and granular access controls, ensuring your files stay private. Unlike Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or other cloud service providers, Nextcloud lets you self-host your data, reducing exposure to breaches.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Seamless Cloud-to-Cloud & Cross-Platform Syncing**
|
||||
- Sync files across devices, integrate with SaaS services, and even connect to Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, or other cloud-based storage services for hybrid workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Collaboration Tools Built-In**
|
||||
- **Real-time document editing** (like Google Docs)
|
||||
- **Team chat & video conferencing** (replacing Slack & Zoom)
|
||||
- **Shared calendars & contacts** (ideal for remote teams)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Flexibility**
|
||||
- Deploy Nextcloud on your own servers, a VPS, or Federated Computer's managed hosting—giving you full control without the complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cost-Effective Alternative to Big Tech Clouds**
|
||||
- Avoid vendor lock-in and high fees from GCP, Google Cloud, or other cloud storage services. Nextcloud is open-source, meaning no licensing costs—just pure performance.

## The Privacy-Friendly Analytics for your Web Sites
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone uses Google Analytics and, in fact, you must use it if you hope to get SEO from Google. But are you getting the full story from Google about the performance of your web sites? No.
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible is an open source, lightweight, privacy-friendly website analytics solution used by 100s of thousands of websites around the world.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Choose Plausible?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Intuitive Dashboard** — Get all the important stats on one single page. No training necessary!
|
||||
- **Lightweight Script** — Bloated analytics scripts can slow down your website. Plausible is lightweight and fast. When coupled with Federated Core WordPress or other Federated services such as Castopod podcasting or Discourse communities, your script is working on a private network: blazing fast!
|
||||
- **Privacy Focused** — Built with the privacy of your visitors in mind. No need to annoy with a cookie/GDPR banner.
|
||||
- **Open Source** — Built openly on Github, released under the AGPL license.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plausible Analytics vs. Google Analytics
|
||||
|
||||
What makes Plausible a great Google Analytics alternative? Many site owners have the habit of installing Google Analytics tracking script on their sites as one of the first actions they take after the launch. Here's why you should break the habit of Google Analytics and consider Plausible Analytics as a simple, lightweight, ethical, open source and privacy-friendly alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Easy to use vs complex web analytics
|
||||
|
||||
[Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/) is overkill for most website owners. It's a powerful but [complex tool](https://plausible.io/blog/easy-insights) that takes time to understand and requires training. Google Analytics collects way too many data points and most people find real and regular use for only a fraction of the data it measures.
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible is easy to use and understand with no training or prior experience necessary. Plausible cuts through the noise by presenting all the important website traffic and business insights on an intuitive dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
There are no layers of navigational menus, there is no need to create custom reports. You get all the important web analytics at a glance so you can focus on creating a better site and a better business.
|
||||
|
||||
You can invite team members, you can integrate with Search Console and you can import your historical Google Analytics stats. There's a realtime dashboard, a landing pages report, you [track conversion and revenue attribution](https://plausible.io/blog/ecommerce-revenue-attribution), you can optimize your conversion rate using sales funnels and much more. All on one single page. Take a look at their [live demo](https://plausible.io/plausible.io).
|
||||
|
||||
## Data ownership of your web analytics
|
||||
|
||||
By using Plausible, you keep 100% ownership of your website data and you protect the privacy of your visitors at the same time. With Federated, Plausible runs on your own Federated Core, so you remain completely in control of your site data and you fully own all of it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Your website data is not shared with advertising companies or any other companies in general.
|
||||
- Your website data is not sent to any third-parties at all.
|
||||
- Your website data is not mined and harvested for personal and behavioral trends.
|
||||
- Your website data is not monetized.
|
||||
|
||||
That is not necessarily the case with Google Analytics, a tool that is created, hosted and run by the largest adtech company in the world. A company that loves to devour all the personal data available to it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Open source vs closed source web analytics
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible is an [open source web analytics tool](https://plausible.io/open-source-website-analytics). Its [source code](https://github.com/plausible/analytics/) is available and accessible on Github so anyone can read it and review it to ensure it keeps the data private and secure.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not the case with Google Analytics which is a closed source product. There's simply no way of knowing what's going on behind the scenes when using the Google Analytics script. You have to put your trust in Google.
|
||||
|
||||
## Privacy of your website visitors
|
||||
|
||||
Privacy of web users is under threat but there's a growing privacy shift going on around the web. Plausible is a part of that shift.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though the purpose of Plausible is to track usage of a website, this can still be done without collecting any personal data or personally identifiable information (PII), without using cookies and while respecting the privacy of people. Learn more about what makes it a [privacy-friendly analytics tool](https://plausible.io/privacy-focused-web-analytics).
|
||||
|
||||
By using Google Analytics, you're sacrificing the privacy of your site visitors. With Plausible you still get all the important insights to help you understand the performance of your site and to see how you can improve your site, but this doesn't come at a cost of the privacy of your visitors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA and PECR
|
||||
|
||||
If you are tracking and collecting personal website usage data, you need to ask for and get explicit consent from the visitor according to the recent regulations such as the [General Data Protection Regulation](https://gdpr-info.eu/) (GDPR) in Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
Lawmakers around the world have realized the severity of the situation and several different personal data and privacy regulations have been introduced such as the [California Consumer Privacy Act](https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa) (CCPA) in the United States and the [Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/what-are-pecr/) (PECR) in the United Kingdom.
|
||||
|
||||
Google Analytics collects a lot of personal data and it is a potential liability for your site. Many website owners fail to do this, but you should and must disclose to your visitors your use of Google Analytics to track them.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an independent [legal assessment on GDPR-compliance of Plausible and Google Analytics](https://plausible.io/blog/legal-assessment-gdpr-eprivacy) written by an experienced data protection expert and lawyer.
|
||||
|
||||
Since January 2022, several European Data Protection Authorities have decided that the use of [Google Analytics violates GDPR](https://plausible.io/blog/google-analytics-illegal). These include Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. These decisions are regarding EEA-US data transfers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compromising the user experience of your website visitors
|
||||
|
||||
When you're using Google Analytics, you're making the user experience on your site more inconvenient. To abide by the privacy regulations, you need to compromise the visitor experience by displaying annoying cookie banners and GDPR or CCPA consent notices. You also need to present comprehensive privacy policy in regard to analytics tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
By using Plausible, you don't need to have any GDPR, CCPA, PECR or cookie prompts anymore and you don't need a complex privacy policy about analytics either. By using Plausible, you are not using cookies and you are not tracking any personal data after all. Your visitors can enjoy your site without any annoyances and distractions.
|
||||
|
||||
We encourage you to discuss specific compliance questions with your lawyer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Improved data accuracy
|
||||
|
||||
With Plausible, you not only count visitors who reject the GDPR consent banner but you also gain the advantage of several built-in measures designed to improve the accuracy of your statistics:
|
||||
|
||||
- Known referrer spam domains and traffic originating from data centers is filtered out. Plausible excludes ~32K data center IP ranges (i.e. a lot of bot IP addresses) by default, preventing bot traffic from inflating your stats. For eg., Cookiebot CMP users see a constant spike in their direct traffic because their sites are scanned constantly by the Cookiebot's bots, requiring manual exclusions in GA4. There are other similar instances, but Plausible handles them all automatically for you.
|
||||
- Plausible attempts to uncover traffic originating from Android apps which is traditionally categorized as “Direct / None” in Google Analytics. For sites with significant mobile traffic, this recovers 10% or more previously unattributed traffic from apps like Gmail, Slack and Telegram.
|
||||
- Visitors that use VPN services and the Tor browser are grouped under the “Anonymous VPN Service” entry in the Countries list to eliminate the noise that these services add to the locations report.
|
||||
- [Here](https://plausible.io/most-accurate-web-analytics) are more reasons Plausible is more accurate as compared to Google Analytics 4.
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoiding the adblockers
|
||||
|
||||
Many people have got enough of banner advertising, retargeting and remarketing messages and behavioral profiling so they choose to block some of these distractions. Google Analytics script is impacted by browsers such as Firefox and Safari. With tech-savvy audiences, the level of people blocking Google Analytics gets up to 60%.
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible is not a part of the adtech industry. It doesn't track any personal data whatsoever, doesn't use cookies and doesn't play any part in the profiling of personal behaviors around the web so it's not usually blocked by browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
You also have the option to proxy the script from your domain name as a [first party connection](https://plausible.io/docs/proxy/introduction) to bypass any adblockers.
|
||||
|
||||
With Plausible, you can count visitors who reject the GDPR consent banner and those who use adblockers which leads to a much higher accuracy in your stats. An independent study on GA4's data accuracy found that when consent banners are displayed, GA4 fails to capture an average of 55.6% of the traffic compared to Plausible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Increasing the page weight and the loading time
|
||||
|
||||
Analytics scripts have a performance impact on the page weight and the loading time speed of a website. Plausible Analytics is a lightweight web analytics tool that aims to provide you with all the essential website traffic insights without a negative impact on the web speed.
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible Analytics script is more than 75 times smaller than a typical Google Analytics script. By using Plausible Analytics, you will reduce your page weight and your site will load faster too.
|
||||
|
||||
## A public roadmap driven by the community
|
||||
|
||||
With Plausible you can be a part of the development. Take a look at Plausible's public roadmap, which is defined by its community. You can leave your feedback and have your say on metrics and features we should be adding next to the product. Google, on the other hand, is notorious for not listening to their users, not providing any way to reach the customer support to get help and even by shutting down products that millions of people love.
|
||||
|
||||
## David vs Goliath
|
||||
|
||||
Google Analytics is installed on and is tracking website traffic on [85% of all websites](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/traffic_analysis). A majority of web traffic is tracked by a single company. And that one company is also the largest advertising company in the world. What could possibly go wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
Plausible, on the other hand, is not created by one of the largest companies in the world and is not run by a huge team. By using Plausible, you will support indie-developers, indie-businesses and the independent web. You can learn more about [Plausible](https://plausible.io/about).
