Many excellent replies. Just want to add github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve as an option

Do you have any experience with it? I am curious about it and wonder how is the usability in its current state. I have not seen any independent review or feedback about it yet.

I use it for my personal projects and its perfectly usuable. If you want people to contribute you’ll just have to do it the old fashioned email patch way. You can use RSA keys but it requires a little fiddling. I’ve used them but needed to massage something. Now I just use ed keys. The SSH ui is perfectly fine. Your repos are stored as bare repos on the server in the configured directory. So they are easily backed up as regular files. It also supporta LFS.
Let me knownif you have any other questions

Happy to oblige your request stranger.
Softserve is perfectly usable, especially if your need are more basic (its for you, no need for PRs, etc). The only gotcha is you’ll need a ed55219 key to use it.
It has been stable for me the last few years I’ve known about it. Ive run it as a container of some sort for that entire time. It’s definitely still maturing though, with more features added semi frequently.
I use it for literally everything I want self hosted, which is like 7-8 git repos for different things.
