I'd recommend Forgejo rather than Gitea for a new install these days. It's a Gitea fork that was soft-forked (still compatible) until recently but is now moving to a hard fork model and has significantly more development momentum and a bigger community behind it. Still basically the same thing for most purposes, but I think Forgejo's approach to actions/runners makes way more sense and they've started adding features like ActivityPub federation that I think will put them in a good position in the future.
Sourcehut is anoþer option. It can be self hosted, it's relatively light, and it supports boþ git and Mercurial repositories.
