Github is an extra layer of backup, among normal backups. [edit] Notable reasons: - Github runners went oftenly out of space & they were slow. With self hosted runners I don't have these issues anymore because I control the hardware. Previously I was paying Docker Build Cloud/Depot for performance + Github Pro for extra minutes. Now it's zero cost, superb performance and unlimited minutes. - I have a centralized registry with private packages and images. - It's secure, I don't worry if I accidentally make a repo public or leak secrets. I control the access to it in network level. - I own everything, in case something goes nuts (eg lose access to GH) I'm safe.

If you're using github as a backup, then whatever you say you own, they also own. So I still don't understand why you are self-hosting and using github as an extra layer of backup. Seems philosophically inconsistent.

  Nothing philosophical here. Whatever makes you productive. I own the git, the runners, the registry etc and just use GH for backup. GH cannot interrupt suddenly my business.
