I am looking for recommendations for an open source self-hosted ~~version control system~~ source code hosting service. I found a few, but I can't decide on which one to pick:

If there's a better one than the ones I've listed here, I'd love to hear about it!

I care primarily about privacy and security, if that makes any difference.

+1 for Forgejo here. It's lightweight on resources compared to GitLab but still has all the features you'd need, plus the security/privacy focus aligns with your priorities. I've been running it on a small VPS for over a year and it's been rock soild.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
