Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Problem / use-case

At the moment Xermius is offering to store its data in a GitHub repository. It is mentioned that it is a private repository, which is correct, but it is still hosted in the cloud and therefore it could be hacked. A lot of people nowadays are moving away from the cloud and want to host their own data on their own servers. However, Xermius is not supporting this move and only supports github hosted in the cloud.

Proposed solution

An alternative would be to allow users to specify the URL of their own git server. There are several solutions available for self-hosting, ranging from forgejo to gitlab. As that they are all based on git, I assume that the connectivity would all be similar as well and that only the URL needs to be specified.

Alternatives considered

Currently I am using the Xermius public cloud for safe-guarding the Xermius data. There is no real alternative for a self-hosted solution.
