Yeah, we've been using gitea for five years, and from administrator's point of view it's one of the easiest things to self host. Updates can happen automatically and require very little downtime, and it's light on server resources.

In comparison, Gitlab was a massive pain and became close to unusable on that same server before we migrated to gitea, even though Gitlab was used just for code hosting, and gitea is used for everything it supports (container image and package repositories, issues, etc).

This looks interesting, I have self hosted gitlab but it is so slow and I don't need most of the features it offers. Thanks for sharing!
