I've been running jakstys.lt (and subdomains like git.jakstys.lt) from my closet, a simple residential connection with a small monthly price for a static IP.

The only time I had a problem was when gitea started caching git bundles of my Linux kernel mirror, which bots kept downloading (things like a full targz of every commit since 2005). Server promptly went out of disk space. I fixed gitea settings to not cache those. That was it.

Not ever ddos. Or I (and uptimerobot) did not notice it. :)
