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 Technically yes, I use a repo with a post-recieve hook to push updates to my website. But it's dead simple, since my local git uses the SSH key I'd already have for the server anyway.
My main problem is that I need an offsite backup, and hosting it on the same server that hosts the website it's meant to be backing up is somewhat suboptimal. 
But if I need to, I could absolutely pull or clone from that repo if I needed to.
