A lot of people seem to like gitea.
But if you're only self-hosting for backups and coordination, you (and collaborators) don't need anything except ssh access to the machine you want to host on.

The main UX bummer is that by default you have to be on the server to create "repos."
However, you can add custom commands to git-shell that would allow permitted users to create repos via ssh.

Mhh, I like this.
Wanted to learn more about custom shells via SSH anyway
I could also take a look at gitern since I guess that's where you picked up your experience regarding this. I also wanted to take a look at the really freaking weird stuff anyway, lol

gitern’s flow is similar but on steroids (or meth depending on your pov) because there’s no trust between “tenants” of the server.
