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.

Thanks! What resources are you running it on? I'm looking into a VPS that could host it and ChatGPT recommends 4-8 vCPUs and 16 GB Ram, which sounds reasonable. But let's say I'm running it on k8s does that leave any room for e.g. running other services on the same cluster?

The container itself has been allocated 4 cores and 4 GiB RAM on my PVE host, RAM usage currently sits at 75%. Before I had 2 GiB of RAM allocated, felt like it was slowed down a little bit by running from a HDD then. The host CPU is an i5-9400, so nothing beefy.

Besides Gitlab, I run Home Assistant, a single tenant Nextcloud instance and pfsense on the same host without any troubles. All services combined have 14 GiB Ram allocated, most of that actually goes to HASS since its doing speech recognition and speech synthesis (6GiB)
