I’m looking to self-host a GitHub alt on a cheap Linux VPS for personal use. Any rec?

Gitea.

Isn’t this a spin-off of gogs?

I still need to convert.

Apparently. When I wound up choosing Gitea for my own purposes, I don’t recall even learning about Gogs somehow.

I picked gogs before I knew about the gitea fork. (Maybe even before the fork)

Skip it and go right to forgejo : it’s the current tip of the iceberg.

Maybe, depends on the migration path. Gitea proved impossible to migrate to.

Could you not just push a git repo?

Sure, but then I’d have to remove gogs 1st after exporting everything. It’s not a lot of data, but loads of repos. For me there was no reason to migrate (yet).

It was even easier. I’m over on forgejo, works.

The majority of maintainers stayed with Gitea. Forgejo is not the tip, they still pull the majority of their commit from gitea directly.
