BookStack Moves from GitHub to Codeberg
BookStack is migrating its repositories from GitHub to Codeberg due to growing discomfort with GitHub's direction under Microsoft, particularly around privacy, AI integration, and platform control. While GitHub offers benefits like free hosting and CI tools, the project's maintainers are concerned about its shift toward being an AI-focused platform. Secondary repositories have already been moved and archived with links to their new locations. The migration reflects a broader desire to align with open, community-driven infrastructure.
