Experiences with self-hosted git servers

[Ed Maste]

A remaining task for the Git Working Group is to evaluate and make a
recommendation for repository hosting. Both self-hosted and third
party services may be examined.

There are a number of options for self-hosting, such as Gitea, GitLab,
as well as git's plain built-in server. Phabricator (which we use for
code reviews) also includes a repository hosting module named
Diffusion.

I am interested in hearing from FreeBSD users and developers who have
used one or more of these, or other Git hosting tools - what worked
well, what didn't? What do you wish you had known before getting
started?
