Selfhosting GitLab? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve started building a small decentralized, non commercial app with a Rust backend + Node.js frontend running on k8s. I would have my own dedicated server for this. Just mentioning the setup because it might grow and for git there seem to be only GitHub and GitLab around and I prefer GitLab.

I care a lot about security and was wondering if it makes sense to self-host GitLab. I‘m not afraid of doing it, but after setup it shouldn’t take more than 1-2 hours per week for me to maintain it in the long run and I’m wondering if that’s realistic.

Would love to hear about the experience of people who did what I’m planning to do.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, trying my best to reply. I want CI/CD, container registry and secrets management that's what I was hoping to get out of GitLab.

Quick question: forgejo is the git program that you can install self host a git server, while codeberg is probably the biggest forgejo-kind git server that is open to the public, right?

I dont have a home server to host forgejo (yet?), so I'm thinking of making an account on codeberg, is that correct reasoning?

Oh thank you for the detailed answer😄

I think codeberg is for me in my case. (Btw, I barely know git, I'm gonna read a guide today.) I really like foss, so I will probably create foss stuff.

I really want to make a nas in the future, so I might host my own forgejo instance locally and possibly keep a backup on a cloud storage provider (bought 2tb lifetime on filen). I have somewhat big plans for my nas, but I don't know what I'll eventually do😆

So far I barely use git, so I probably dont need to rent a cloud server. Thanks again though:)
