FossilRepo

Self-hosted Fossil forge with a modern web interface and agentic development platform.

FossilRepo wraps Fossil SCM with a Django + HTMX management layer, replacing Fossil's built-in web UI with a GitHub/GitLab-caliber experience while preserving everything that makes Fossil unique.

Why FossilRepo?

Fossil is the most underrated version control system. Every repository is a single SQLite file containing your code, wiki, tickets, forum, and technotes. No external services, no complex setup.

FossilRepo gives you:

• A modern dark/light UI with real-time updates
• GitHub-style code browsing with syntax highlighting, blame, and diffs
• Full project management: tickets, wiki, forum, releases
• Git mirror sync to GitHub/GitLab
• An agentic development platform with MCP server and zero-rate-limit APIs
• Self-hosted, open source (MIT), omnibus Docker deployment

Quick Start

docker compose up -d --build
docker compose exec backend python manage.py migrate
docker compose exec backend python manage.py seed

Visit http://localhost:8000 and log in with admin / admin.
