I've been using gogs since I had my RPi2. It's not fancy, it just works. Gitea is a fork of it, as there are others, but I never really put time in a conversion, as gogs just works. I don't do more then synching repos over ssh and an occasional repo creation via the web interface. It's a 1 user setup.

Edit: just spend a bit of spare time to install forgejo to figure out what I need to do to move the repos I have (~200) over. All that was needed was to create all repos manually and then rsync the content from the direcory with the gogs repos to the forgejo repo storage. I went ftom gogs 0.12 to forgejo 1.20.5 in a tad over 2h.
