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 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
