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?

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?

@skyfaller@jawns.club I think the Postgres project still self-hosts. Self-hosting git is the easy part, and I'd argue the least valuable part of GH. It's having issues and permissions management and threaded review and tying in to releases that would be hard to replace, to say nothing of network effects. Postgres could do this because they already had other systems for these things.
