I'm looking to setup a git host to at the very least mirror my git repositories, but more likely to migrate to full time. Suggestions are welcome, but I'm also curious what HN uses!

Re: Poll: Self Hosting Git Repositories
#2You may want to give more details about your usecase: do you need _only_ git hosting or other features too (e.g. issue tracker, CI/CD pipelines)? How many users will use this setup? Do you have a dedicated machine or you run it locally (e.g. in a docker container?? Hosting locally or in cloud?
IIRC Gitolite was aquired by Gitlab a while back, Gitweb is not really a git hosting, it's more like a web view of your `git log`
Gitlab needs at least a couple of gigs of RAM to run well, double/triple that if you need CI/CD.
I have no experience wiht gogs/gitea.

Gitweb does not belong, it is just a repository viewer.

#4While I have not used it, softserve looks like a cool terminal/SSH based remote git server.

This poll is really me being curious about what the citizens of HN use themselves. My own use case would benefit greatly from CI/CD pipelines, but beyond that I'm mostly looking for a nice web interface to expose the repository contents.

#6For personal stuff, I use an s3 bucket that's mounted locally via FUSE as the origin. A bit slow, but works out of the box!

#7GitLab has a decent CI functionality baked in, should it ever come to need.

Gitlab CI is powerful, and (IMHO/IME) a selling point compared to other options.

#9I sync stuff via the Gitea mirror feature. Works well.

Then you don't have too much of a choice: gitlab all the way :)
We ran an gitlab instance for about eight years and it worked flawlesly[1] for a team of ~20, with quite a few active repos (i.e. constantly pushing), some of them being generously large, running several pipelines on most of them.
PS: gitorious was aquired by gitlab, not gitolite. My bad.
[1]: once we pumped up _LOT_ of RAM into it that is
