I’ve felt similarly about moving off GitHub. I bought a small 5U server rack years ago for my home network setup.
I’m considering getting a 1U device to host my own git server. I feel like if I move off, I should do it generally vs just moving to another provider who may also pull shenanigans.
For low-resource usage, Forgejo has a good reputation: https://forgejo.org
ie you can run it effectively on even a Raspberry Pi
Remember to ensure you have proper backups regardless of whatever you decide to host it on. :)
i had a gitea instance in a beaglebone black! Self hosting can have really low requirements (now it's a much beefier banana pi R3 router, but there are many containers running on it)
