FYI you can self-host GitLab, for example in a Docker container.
Or you could make your life a lot easier and use Forgejo
You can also just make bare got repositories on any server you can ssh into.
got it
Coincidentally, this is what git is short for.
Source: "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

It's the worst example, but it's an example, sure.
Much like that comment. Can you give a better example, or express why it's a bad example? That would bring some quality in.
https://forgejo.org/ here's a little better example, though you did a great job doing some proposal, gotta love those who do at least some initiative
Forgejo is a gitea fork, it's got nothing to do with gitlab
Are they "forks" or are they "built on top of"?
Forgejo used to be built on top of Gitea (soft fork) but since this year have been starting to go their own way, which may break things (hard fork).
Gitlab is very complex and a heavy resource hog. You probably don't need it. Most small to medium enterprises can comfortably host their projects on lightweight forgejo or gitea (speaking from experience). They even have functionality similar to github actions. If you need anything more complex, you are better off integrating another self hosted external service to the mix.
In my experience the other alternatives tend to lack solid CI integration. I have yet to find an open source alternative as good as Gitlab's.
