Are you me? Somebody was talking about gitea on here yesterday and I also ended up self-hosting and moving all of my private projects to Ferjero yesterday after a bit of research. I can't bring myself to move public projects due to job prospects + GitHub network effect. Otherwise I'm role playing as a system admin now with 20 local services for various things I need. I think the most important thing is to have regular backups as you're now in charge of keeping your data from getting lost.
