Just self host the community edition of gitlab. It's miles better than gitea. It's got ci pipelines, it's got a pretty robust issue tracker, it's got wiki pages, it'll integrate with ldap/ad for authentication, it's got a package repository for self hosting libraries, it's got releases, it's got a service desk to make email -> ticket pipelines, etc.

GitLab CE is far too heavy and requires minimum 4GB to run. Contains lots of componnents including PostgreSQL and Redis and various components and startup takes long. With Gitea I can run it with just 1GB or a raspberry pi. It includes wiki, package repositories and releases as well. ldap, service desk - these are enterprise features that I don't need.

Gitlab is a crazy setup full of services, with elaborate interdependence, absurd hardware requirements, iffy performance, and all the lack of confidence on security that comes from this (and it only ever running if you use their docker images and don't touch anything).

But yeah, it got everything.

Gitea has all these features as well, except maybe the last.
