What is the easiest way to have a self hosted git server? (lemmy.world)

I've been recently dabbling on rust, and I am have been mostly doing that on my laptop. However, I also have a desktop and once in a while I would like to resume my stuff from the laptop, but without manual file transfers.

I know git by design does this, but I would like to use my current docker setup with Ubuntu server to have a very simple git server.

What would be the simplest git server to have in this situation? Keep in mind I am not planning to expose none of this to the internet

Many excellent replies. Just want to add https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve as an option

Do you have any experience with it? I am curious about it and wonder how is the usability in its current state. I have not seen any independent review or feedback about it yet.

I use it for my personal projects and its perfectly usuable. If you want people to contribute you'll just have to do it the old fashioned email patch way. You can use RSA keys but it requires a little fiddling. I've used them but needed to massage something. Now I just use ed keys. The SSH ui is perfectly fine. Your repos are stored as bare repos on the server in the configured directory. So they are easily backed up as regular files. It also supporta LFS.

Let me knownif you have any other questions

Happy to oblige your request stranger.

Softserve is perfectly usable, especially if your needs are more basic (its for you, no need for PRs, etc). The only gotcha is you'll need a ed55219 key to use it.

It has been stable for me the last few years I've known about it. Ive run it as a container of some sort for that entire time. It's definitely still maturing though, with more features added semi frequently.

I use it for literally everything I want self hosted, which is like 7-8 git repos for different things.
