Does anyone know an alternative to githost.io? We don't want to use gitlab.org as it's painfully slow but also don't want to manage our own gitlab instance.

edit: We don't like the recent changes made in githost. ( Replaced the $35 option with $149 ) We're a team of 15 people.

edit2: should have clarified; I'm hooked to GitLab, just looking for another service that does managed hosting. Not looking for GitLab alternatives.

Gitlab.com? BitBucket is the other major player that comes to mind, but googling "hosting git" returns enough results to melt ones mind.

If you're really concerned, you run it yourself. GitLab insider a docker container isn't hard to manage. You can even 1-click Gitlab onto a DO Droplet in just a few minutes: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-...

Gitea[0] is extremely simple to host, if you want a self-hosted solution that's not as heavy as gitlab.

Gitea sadly has some issues (for example, the "Public Activity" tab on user profiles 500's atm: https://try.gitea.io/crackedmind?tab=activity; it throws 500's everywhere once you throw on a modern Xeon more than 30 users/second at it, because it doesn't cache database accesses, at all, etc).

Thanks for mentioning that. It seems like this bug wasn't reported yet, so I have filed a bug report.

Also, I don’t seem to be able to properly run it in docker (I’m trying to deploy it on kubernetes), do you, by random chance, have experience with deploying gitea?

Sorry, I don't know about running it in docker. My usecase is personal lightweight repos management, so I just download the binary and run it backed by SQLite. Never faced any issues with that. I never needed to go fancy with docker.

Consider running your own Gitlab instance.. I run one for $40/Mo on DigitalOcean, very happy with it.
