I find self-hosting GitLab reasonably enjoyable. I use the Docker image (which contains the omnibus installation). It takes a ridiculous time to boot but I can only remember one time when upgrading wasn't as simple as pulling the new version and re-creating the container. Don't remember what went wrong though. It's login-only, there's no other users, so I'm not too worried about security. For anything public I use GitHub.

I've had several upgrade issues. Once several configuration settings were deprecated then removed... Silently. It was difficult to discover why it would no longer start. Another time a bunch of repositories only partially migrated, and appeared empty on clone. Mostly it's the frequency of updates that's a pain, there are enough critical vulnerabilities that you have to stay on top of it. I am the dog lying on a nail and occasionally whimpering at the moment though.
