Self-hosted GitHub alternative? - eviltoast

Folks,

I’m looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there’s a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I’m not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don’t know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?

    This obviously doesn’t help for the rest of your question, but for anything that I don’t want to open source for whatever reason, I just make a bare repo and push it to a folder on my server that has all my bare repos. Literally just git server on my LAN. Nothing fancy. No UI or anything, but I don’t use a UI for git anyway.

    If you don’t have a server at home, you could do the same thing but to a folder on your local machine. That obviously means you will have no backup. But you will still have version control in case you want to revert something you did or refer back to an old version.
