Do you host your own #Git server? What are you using for it?
I’m looking for something that’s really low maintenance, and I probably don’t need project management, issue tracking, or pull requests. Maybe not even user management. It’s probably just me and my repos.
I know that I can just use SSH+Git on the remote side, but I maybe would like some kind of web interface. Maybe gitweb? But it’s Perl. Or cgit? Any other suggestions like these two?
@scy If docker is an option for you: forgejo docker images pretty much just work. I'm in their matrix room to get update notifications, but with watchtower, normal updates to the image are installed automatically and only new releases (1.19 -> 1.20) are manual and usually just mean replacing the version number in my docker-compose.yml after skimming their release notes.
• Gitea (or its fork, Forgejo) isn’t hard to maintain either, you don’t even need a database server, it runs with SQLite, too. (I know, but it still highly suggests you set up outbound email & a GPG key.)
• Both cgit & gitweb are still used by people (although I prefer cgit, it at least has a dark theme apparently).
@scy forgejo, but you’re right, I also could do without 70% of the features. But running it as a docker container with an automated postgres backup is quite low maintenance.
