I am looking for recommendations for an open source self-hosted ~~version control system~~ source code hosting service. I found a few, but I can't decide on which one to pick:

If there's a better one than the ones I've listed here, I'd love to hear about it!

I care primarily about privacy and security, if that makes any difference.

The added features made it harder to deploy, came with some bugs, and overall traded a simple design for community-oriented features that IMO were a negative value overall.

made it harder to deploy? Isn't it still just a single binary, a config file and a directory for data?

bugs are inevitable for evolving software.

which community oriented features do you mean? are they in the way, or is it just that you don't need them?
