You can host your own GitLab*, not your own Github.

Also, a lot of the value of Github is social. You can only get that (after a certain point) by paying Github money.

By contrast, you can get 100% of the value of the Docker community without paying a cent to Docker, Inc.

FWIW you can host your own GitHub

https://enterprise.github.com

and this is important because a good deal of tech companies rely on self-hosted GHE or hosted Github.

$21 a month per user.....to host it on my own hardware....no thanks. If I am hosting on my own hardware then you get a one-time-fee, none of this subscription nonsense.

glad I'm not the only one to find this subscription BS patently insulting.

You're not a 1Password user, are you? They are pushing the subscription model super hard.
