I’m looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.
My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there’s a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I’m not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don’t know why I need this.
What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?
Heh, I was running linux with docker on top of Trunas for several months because of Jellyfin was not available to run in jail. I was not happy because it wasted the server resources and also my resources to maintain it. I don’t want go such way again.
Happy running gitea in jail and when forgejo will be also available in jail I will probably move to its.
I also recommend forgejo, I’ve been using it for a while for my personal projects and the ui is still beautiful while being a simple git server at the same time.

I’d probably just run gitlab and use the gitlab images, as that’s one of the solutions git recommends
I’m using GItea and it’s been working great. Very easy to set up in docker.
Forgejo
Unfortunately not available on TrueNAS
Everything is you just must first learn docker

Why do you want that? Plain git can do everything you actually need.
Gitlab can do what you need
+1 For Gitea. Works really well for me. It recently added GitHub style actors so you can use GitHub style CI/CD too!
Forgejo. Gitlab will be overkill probably.
Have a look at Forgejo which is a soft fork run by a nonprofit organization of Gitea which is owned by a for-profit company.

It need very little system resources and still gives you all the common features you know from commercial Git hosting providers.
And yes, you can mirror existing Git repos using a web UI.
I also recommend forgejo, I’ve been using it for a while for my personal projects and the ui is still beautiful while being a simple git server at the same time.
I also recommend forgejo. They are also working on adding a federation feature to forgejo just like Lemmy has!
