Setting up your own instance of a bit server is free.

If you want issues, CI etc... Then you need a local version of github which you will pay for.

Well... unless you use something like gitlab https://about.gitlab.com/ - which is also free, and has support for issues, CI, etc. (snap!)

Or GitLab. That's free and easy to self host.

Bingo. People think its hard to self host. Its not. They have an omnipackage that you install. You run updates. You enable the automatic backups. Problem solved!

But maintenance is where people can have issues. GitLab is complex.

Personally, I prefer something more lightweight and for some time I've been using gogs - https://github.com/gogits/gogs (so far so good)

Is gogs maintained anymore? Everyone I know switched to the community fork, gitea.
