What if you don't want to self host? Who offers low feature git hosting for a small price? Something like the old $7 account before github was bought by MS? All I want is hosting and a read only web interface, plus access control in case I have collaborators. All the offerings are enterprise priced because they offer "minutes of CI", "AI assistants" and other icing on the cake.

SourceHut sounds very close to what you describe: https://sr.ht/

No one notices the part about private repos and access control...

You didn't mention private repos in your comment, but I guess that was implied in the $7 thing.

That said: SourceHut has private repos and access control.

I have been using Framagit for a few years now. it has been online since 2016, it's the public Gitlab instance of Framasoft, a french non profit organization. RocketGit has been online since 2015 and relies on its own software, i have never used it but i have heard about it regularly.

... but not on the sr.ht link you gave. That's a list of projects like your average open source hosting landing page.

You have to click on the tiny sourcehut link at the top to see the real site.

Probably the mirror? I have zero problems like that on my Forgejo Pi setup. I am not mirroring

SD card seems the likeliest culprit. Some of them are really bad quality.

Could be yes. I’m using a M.2 SSD with USB adapter and that seems to work well with my RPi 4. Wasn’t that expensive plus should last way longer than SD card.

Related: GitLab's CEO post in Twitter[1] doesn't inspire confidence as well. A direct quote: "generational rebuild of git, the monolith giving way to composable, monetized services with agent-first APIs".

Can you imagine /usr/bin/git rewritten into a set of composable, monetized services with agent-first APIs?
