Our server is down again. Even with a freakton of better specs. I'm gonna bite the bullet and migrate us to GitLab. Gitea just is not stable enough at all.

Moving to GitLab will be a huge pain continuously, too. GitLab has a *HUGE* footprint with many moving parts. Most of my time will be taken just doing sysadmin tasks. My tiny little time available for hacking on code will be greatly diminished.

Gerrit is easy to host. It covers code hosting + code review with a nice workflow for people without commit access to submit changes without having their own repositories on it.
Recently explained why I like it here:

Don't see a FreeBSD package though.

The Gerrit workflow is that you make your commits and push them to the upstream repository without needing commit access via `git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/<BRANCH>`.
Commits get a Change-Id and pushing again will update your changes. Also nice for tracking backported patches.

There's a pretty good chance that it works fine on FreeBSD without changes. Doesn't have performance issues and really isn't hard to host. Lots of projects using it:

Can pretty much guarantee it will be a far nicer experience than dealing with GitLab.

Doesn't seem like gerrit exists as a package on HardenedBSD. I wonder what it'd take to port it.

I have a feeling it works fine without changing any of the code. I think you would just need to deal with setting up the user/group, directories, init script, etc.
