Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Gitlab takes way more RAM to run the docker container than i want. If this is lighter, that sounds nice. And im using only the most basic functionality, so wont be much loss to me if it cant do whatever fancy stuff.
How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.
Gitea is in same lightweight category.
Gitea is a fork of gogs. Forgejo is a forge of Gitea too. I would suggest/use Forgejo.
well, shit, it looks like that is indeed what I want! setting it up now, thanks!
Also hosted on… GitHub! 😀
Many years ago I ran my own Gogs and it was pretty good, would recommend
Or , with, you know, federation?
Installed Gogs but will switch the this FOSS version tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
Gitea?
Fair. Competition is also good.
Especially if it’s a competition to Microsoft.
