I'm looking to self-host a GitHub alt on a cheap Linux VPS for personal use. Any rec?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you just want a remote to push your code to without issues, projects, pull requests and such you can use git only: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
This is actually a good idea! No need to over engineer stuff 😅
@khoi@slrpnk.net if you're okay with that I suggest you check out this https://gitolite.com/gitolite/overview.html.
In short "Gitolite allows you to setup git hosting on a central server, with fine-grained access control and many more powerful features.". It doesn't require some background daemon running, uses the server's SSH and it is a simple script that deals with access control so you can easily manage your users and repositories. The "cherry on top" is that you control your git "server" using a git repository :P
Yup K.I.S.S
