For quite a while before I built my homelab, my git server was a flash drive plugged into my OpenWRT router.
Honestly I still kind of prefer that to gitlab et al. It's nice to not have to leave my terminal to setup a new repo. It takes so much more effort to log into a website and dismiss a bunch of notifications before I can click even more buttons to create a new repo.
I like having all my repos accessible through the website, but I really just want to create new projects through ssh like a civilized person.
