Selfhosting GitLab? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve started building a small decentralized, non commercial app with a Rust backend + Node.js frontend running on k8s. I would have my own dedicated server for this. Just mentioning the setup because it might grow and for git there seem to be only GitHub and GitLab around and I prefer GitLab.

I care a lot about security and was wondering if it makes sense to self-host GitLab. I‘m not afraid of doing it, but after setup it shouldn’t take more than 1-2 hours per week for me to maintain it in the long run and I’m wondering if that’s realistic.

Would love to hear about the experience of people who did what I’m planning to do.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, trying my best to reply. I want CI/CD, container registry and secrets management that's what I was hoping to get out of GitLab.

Yup, for a solo project that you don't want to share I would even argue that a forge is close to pointless.

Any ssh remote will work as a backup, you can run the ci/cd task on your own computer just fine (very likely faster even), you obviously don't need to send PR and request code review to yourself and if a TODO.md isn't enough to keep track of tasks there's a billions lightweight task/note tracker.

I use github because I'm a lazy and it works fine as a backup but I don't need 99% of the features for my pet projects.
