Fossil is very easy to self host. If you already have a web server it needs maybe 10 or 15 lines of server config. If you want to avoid start up you need something to autostart/restart the server process. If you point it at a directory you can add a new repo simply by adding a Fossil file to the directory.

You can even run it on shared hosting as a CGI (never done it myself).

The only thing that took some setup was sending email notifications.

> The "opinionated / small-teams only" critique others have raised in this thread is real, and I think Fossil should own it instead of fighting it.

I agree I use Fossil for multiple personal and small projects. Anywhere I can, really. It is very simple and everything is distributed.
