Gitea

Gitea is a self hosted git option, akin to gitlab. Gitea aims to be the simplest to deploy, and has good documentation.

Customizations

Home page

Find your custom path in gitea. This will be output if you run gitea --help. Create a directory named templates in this custom path, and then copy the home.tmpl file from the source repo of gitea (may need to copy for your specific distribution). Note that these steps are from https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/customizing-gitea/ I did the following.

mkdir /data/gitea/templates
cd /data/gitea/templates
wget <home.tmpl>
nano ./home.tmpl

The default home.tmpl uses some template macros but you can delete most of it and end up with something simple like this:

{{template "base/head" .}}
<div class="home">
        <div class="ui stackable middle very relaxed page grid">
                <div class="sixteen wide center aligned centered column">
                        <div>
                                <img class="logo" src="https://steakelectronics.com/logo3.jpg" />
                        </div>
                        <div class="hero">
                                <h2 class="ui icon header title">
                                        Steak Electronics Git Repository
                                </h2>
                                <h3>Electronics and IT Services</h3>
                        </div>
                </div>
        </div>
        <div class="ui stackable middle very relaxed page grid">
                <div class="eight wide center column">
                        <h1 class="hero ui icon header">
                        </h1>

                        <p class="large">

                        </p>
                </div>
                <div class="eight wide center column">
                        <h1 class="hero ui icon header">
                        </h1>

                        <p class="large">
                        </p>
                </div>
        </div>
        <div class="ui stackable middle very relaxed page grid">
                <div class="eight wide center column">
                        <h1 class="hero ui icon header">
                        </h1>
                        <p class="large">
                        </p>
                </div>
                <div class="eight wide center column">
                        <h1 class="hero ui icon header">
                        </h1>
                        <p class="large">
                        </p>
                </div>
        </div>
</div>
{{template "base/footer" .}}

Without the macros, you have a 2x2 grid you can put something in, and you have the logo which you can customize.
