I've spun up Gitea in my homelab as well as at work and don't recall being difficult so perhaps they fixed whatever was causing your issue
Comment on Anyone knows a good lightweight self-hosted alternative to GitHub?

Gogs and Gitea are very similiar, Gitea is a fork of Gogs with a bit more features as I understand it.
However when I tried to get Gitea working personally a year and a half ago, it had some rough issues with redirect looping onto itself infinitely, could never get it to work.
On the other hand Gogs didn’t have this issue, and was much more painless to stand up, so it’s what I use now.

I setup Gogs once like 6 years ago or something lol, I remember it being pretty easy and it is nice. Although if Gitea is more actively maintained then it’s probably worth giving that a shot first.

Used gogs, it was… fine. Made the jump to Gitea and it’s just amazing. Not that it does anything really different, but you can tell it’s much more polished. Gogs just felt like a CS student’s final project, Gitea is something I could use at work.

They genuinely looked identical to me.
Either way, gogs dies what I need it to, git server for backing up my code and super basic git web Hooks to trigger my build server.
Couldn’t ask for anything more.
