I self-host a git site to keep my code private and to integrate an issue tracker. The maintenance effort is very low. I'm running Gitea on my local network Ubuntu server.

Autocleaning: get the last accessed time from a file and only auto-clean files not accessed in the last n hours, e.g. 24 hours? Should be reasonably safe.
