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?

@skyfaller Forgejo is itself a fork of Gitea, which historically is designed to be lightweight and easy to host. While it’s probably not as robust as Github, it’s pretty great. I’m hopeful that the federation capabilities start to mature sometime soon, that way we don’t all have to sign up to a thousand git forges just to file an issue somewhere.
