#43Self-hosting with gogs.io. Awesome interface, easy to install (it's just a binary), uses minimal system resources and loads very very quick.
Yep, I'm using Gogs on my Synology NAS as well to self-host and mirror/backup my GitHub repositories.

#45Started on the free bitbucket and went to the paid bitbucket when we needed more than 5 users. With 200+ repositories, we've already exceeded what is available for purchase on github.
