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

I think Forgejo is a community-driven fork of Gitea. Gitea development is still active.

forgejo is implementing federation and gitea is not https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ if you dont care that its community based, federation is the only thing i could tell you

I love federation, but why does a git server need federation? Am I missing something, or is this federating for the sake of federating?

You can make like a account on Codeberg and open issues on other git servers it's not useful for developers it's user friendly why is UX bad in your opinion?

Churn != Improvement

Not necessarily

Notice Forgejo is being hosted on Forgejo. The community behind it is much stronger while Gitea is some startup that is desperately trying to be relevant.
