Self-hosted GitHub alternative?

Folks,

I'm looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there's a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I'm not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don't know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?

I'm using GItea and it's been working great. Very easy to set up in docker.

Forgejo

Why instead of gitea though? I thought the “for profit” stuff was only to provide the original developers of gitea the ability to provide paid support to commercial clients.

Unfortunately not available on TrueNAS

Everything is you just must first learn docker

Heh, I was running linux with docker on top of Trunas for several months because of Jellyfin was not available to run in jail. I was not happy because it wasted the server resources and also my resources to maintain it. I don’t want go such way again.
Happy running gitea in jail and when forgejo will be also available in jail I will probably move to its.
