Update

Forgejo seemed to be the winning answer so I tried setting it up. Total setup time was less than 10 minutes. I pushed 10 repositories to test it out and so far it seems pretty good. Thank you everyone for the answers!

As the title states, I am looking to host maybe ~100 git repositories locally on my home network.

I'm not planning on doing anything too crazy with my repositories. The solution doesn't need to support like 1000s of contributors however it should support the most basic features such as being able to see individual commits, branches, diffs, maybe some PR related mechanism, a web GUI, etc.

I don't like to tinker too much. The solution should work and be stable. Stability is a hard requirement. I want to write code and not have to worry about losing it. Yes I will make backups.

Please let me know what some of the best options are at the moment. Thank you!

It's monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you're up.

While I agree, out of the box the configs ARE NOT for home lab use.

For sure. And their bumbling has made it harder to deactivate all the useless bloat and get the good web-editor back. And a host of other mind-numbingly short-sighted decisions that show they're fully run by LostBoy coders who were never mentored and just don't know better.

But tuning can come after. And their CI is way fucking better than forgejo's facepalm of a GitHub clone. And that's a thin reason, but, yeah.

Yep.

It's like they wanna get bought to compete with GitHub or something.

They're moving fast and breaking things. And bloating their product in the process. In the last 24 months they paid over $1M to a single bug bounty hunter who basically took them to the cleaners.

But totally agree. It's the best UX, best product for home lab or even small enterprise use if you've got someone to get it tuned appropriately.
