I set up a self-hosted Gitea this year and moved my repos over and couldn't be happier with it. It's faster than GitHub, clones the GitHub design/UI so that everything's where I expect it to be, has a dark mode, and supports U2F. It's easy to deploy, back up, and maintain, the Gitea devs have done a great job.

It's much less complicated (both from an admin standpoint, as well as a UI standpoint) than GitLab. I paired it with a Drone installation (also self-hosted) for CI and (sometimes) CD.

It all works great, and is way easier than I thought. If there's downtime, I'm (usually) in control of when or how long, as I have root on the box.

I'm also not giving my money to a giant military contractor (Microsoft, the owners of GitHub) any longer, which is a huge deal for me from a personal moral standpoint (YMMV).
