Freedesktop and Alpine Linux, notable in the open source community, are in need of new web hosting solutions following the shutdown of their previous services. Freedesktop is trending towards self-hosting with Hetzner for more control over their funding and operations, while the WireGuard project is also seeking hosting after its own provider, Equinix Metal, ceased operations. Various alternative hosting solutions are being suggested, including managed and unmanaged options from Oregon State University's Open Source Lab. There are discussions around the expertise required for colocation and the commoditization of hardware, with some users calling for established companies like RHEL to support these open source projects. Additionally, there is a conversation about the role of universities and the potential use of peer-to-peer technologies for distributing hosting responsibilities within the open source community.
