Update
Forgejo seemed to be the winning answer so I tried setting it up. Total setup time was less than 10 minutes. I pushed 10 repositories to test it out and so far it seems pretty good. Thank you everyone for the answers!
As the title states, I am looking to host maybe ~100 git repositories locally on my home network.
I’m not planning on doing anything too crazy with my repositories. The solution doesn’t need to support like 1000s of contributors however it should support the most basic features such as being able to see individual commits, branches, diffs, maybe some PR related mechanism, a web GUI, etc.
I don’t like to tinker too much. The solution should work and be stable. Stability is a hard requirement. I want to write code and not have to worry about losing it. Yes I will make backups.
Please let me know what some of the best options are at the moment. Thank you!
if it wasn’t for the webui, a bare git repo would suffice. any repo can be a remote. it’s distributed, after all.
forgejo is the most popular choice right now.
if you wanna be extra you can host git-pr
But ci/cd though
forgejo supports woodpecker CI I thought?
just use a make file like a civilised human being
I would like to use bare repos because I don’t share with anyone else and don’t really need the web-ui for issues or wikis or anything.
However, I need git-lfs and if I understand correctly, that doesn’t wont work with a bare repo over ssh.
I was using gitea a while back and they had a way to dump repos and db, but there didn’t seem to be a way to restore. That being the case I switched to gogs which has been great. It was only recently I learned that gogs wasn’t very active and there was some kind of security breach. Mine is only accessible on my LAN so not particularly worried about security.
Anyhow, looking at forgejo now it seems like there still isn’t a great way to restore from backup? I guess that might not matter to me if I’m only interested in the repos and no comments or other stuff that might be in the database.
