What's a good alternative? I'm not 100% sold on forgejo either due to some bugs and security issues I've run into as well, but I've found few self-hosted alternatives that are a good fit. I need very little beyond a git repo. But I like having the web UI for reviewing code and pull requests and basic issue tracking and need that to support OIDC, but otherwise I'm open. I want something relatively lightweight, fully FOSS, and telemetry and all other external communication can be disabled.
Forgejo is fine. Don't expose it to the internet unless you have to, or mirror your repos to Codeberg and let them worry about it.
Yeah I keep it isolated for now, but use it very little. I plan to expand to try to get off of some other platforms, so just looking if any other options exist, even if they lack features since I don't use a lot.
If I like having a web UI means you can do without it, git doesn't require anything fancy. I just have my git repos on my server and push/pull from my workstations over SSH. It doesn't require anything but git & SSH on the server. You can even collaborate with others by giving them a locked down account that can't do anything other then interact with the git repo.
This approach certainly isn't for everyone. The web UI can be super handy, but if you just want your own self-hosted git server, keep it simple.
I think they mentioned issues and pull requests
