If you're worried about hosting anything on the open web because fucking crawlers for LLMs are overloading indie websites, maybe you'd rather browse your git repo via SSH:
https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve
Have you used Soft Serve? Are you aware of any similar projects for browsing git repos over SSH?
Big caveats:
* Charm (the company behind it) has taken VC funding, and therefore is probably doomed
* Last VC round was lead by "Gradient, Google’s AI-focused venture fund". They're all-in on AI bullshit
Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?
Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo
That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue
Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!
First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?
https://idiomdrottning.org/hosting-git-repos
Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?

I'm Nelson, your Jawns.Club admin, and a #climateJustice activist living in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of #Philadelphia. I love #bicycles / #ebikes, #birdsong, and #solar power. Last year I moved house entirely by bicycle. My favorite band is #Queen, and I'm slowly collecting #vinyl from local musicians. I sing in the bath and carry a song in my heart.
