cgit VS Launchpad.net

I've been looking for a Git server that's simple enough for individuals to self-host and easy enough to use. It wasn't until I came across cgit (which is actually used on the official Linux kernel website) that I knew it was the one for me: https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/. Source: 12 months ago

There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done.
