For quite a while now I’ve been running a Soft Serve instance that mirrors some of my GitHub repos, working as a backup in case GitHub goes down or if for any reason I want to switch to a self hosted setup. While it has been great and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed browsing via ssh (try it now ssh git.stevedylan.dev), I have found myself longing for a web view. So last night I whipped on up.

Kepler is a read-only git web view that works similar to cgit and other tools in this category. All it needs is a few environment variables for where to look at the local git repos and its good to go! Currently running on a $5 VPS from Digital Ocean, this thing is lean and simple. I just love it.
