Hello fellow self hosters,

I’m thinking about self hosting a git server, instead of using GitHub.

I have closed my options down to Gitea and Soft-Serve

I know that you can’t really compare the two because they are very different one has a GUI and another is terminal based, but I really love the two and I can’t choose between them, I’m kind of torn apart.

I guess I need a third-person perspective from people that know their stuff.

(Sorry if this is considered a low effort post, I’m new to this)

Gitea all the way they’re even supporting actions now which makes it good for a 100% self hosted solution.

If your team is small (or just you), I’ve been super happy not using any kind of git host and just pushing to a bare repo via SSH.

GitLab CE works for me quite well.

Me too. Let me drop my stand alone container registry, the Jenkins server, and the jira server.

It’s not lightweight, but what you get for that resource use cannot be understated

Is either better than GitLab? I’m currently self-hosting that.
