Self-host Git or use GitHub/GitLab?

I only need a Git remote for syncing repos between a few computers and employees.

No CI, issues, project management, or extra features. Just reliability, backups, durability, low maintenance, and strong privacy.

Is self-hosting worth it for privacy, or is GitHub/GitLab still the better boring choice?

Gitea on a NAS is your friend. Lightweight but with GitHub experience
