I am thinking about self-hosting my private repositories for some time now. I also want a simple web interface for convenience. I don't need a "Github clone" like Gogs, Gitea..
What simpler alternatives are there? I found https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus . Is there something else?
I now use a personal Gogs instance, but I also want to give a shout-out to Klaus: it's something like Gitweb with a more Github-like UI. Klaus (like Github) shows you first and foremost the state of the tree with nicely rendered or syntax-highlighted file contents instead of (like Gitweb) focusing on the commit history first. It also has smart Git HTTP support out of the box without having to muck around in the web server config as described in this post.
The project is here https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus and you can see a preview of it here: http://klausdemo.lophus.org/
And then you can `pip install klaus` to get a nice web UI; SSH-based git plus klaus[0] is what I'm using[1] instead of Github now and it's great.
