I got the self-hosting bug a few years back and have been running a gitea server (among many others) on a mini PC running in my basement that is setup with tailscale so I can connect to it from anywhere, and it has been fantastic. For any OSS projects that I want to be open to the world, I still put it up on GitHub. But for anything else, it is just going on my Gitea instance.

I just use ssh. I would use Gitea if it was a team project, but it's too much of a hassle for my personal usage. So creating a repository is `ssh git@server git init --bare repo.git` and the remote is `git@server:repo.git`. Pretty much all I need.
