If you have a server, some cheap VPS will suffice, you can host a private git repo there without installing anything. Run this on your server:

     git init --bare foo.git

and then on your PC you can do this:

    git clone user@yourserver.com:~/foo.git

It's probably a good idea to make a separate user account on the server for it, though.

This is great, but you can also run foregjo (the server behind coderberg) on your VPS.

It is a single binary and I think it is also very light on resources. At least compared to gitlab.

  • I've actually been meaning to set up a forgejo instance on pikapods. Apparently it's 2 USD/month to do it.
