Answer: yes, some code. But other code I and my company like to keep private.

Where exactly is the repo hosted if there is one?

It's common for companies to have something like self-hosted GitHub Enterprise or self-hosted GitLab hidden behind the company's VPN.

But where is the box where it's hosted? Is it in-house?

There are alternatives out there for self-hosted git. I have a Gitea instance running on a mini PC at home for my own projects.

mewpmewp2 · 2024-10-31T14:53:57 1730386437

Do you have backups of that as well? If something were to happen to your mini pc would you lose your code?

Great question, yeah I do. Right now it backs up to a separate NAS on my home network. Every once in a while I'll copy the most important directories onto a microSD card backup, but its usually going to be at least a few weeks out of date.

Own servers.

Do they manage their own servers? I wonder what proportion of companies would have in house servers managed by themselves.

They are colocated in a data center and you need physical keys to access the rack.
