Here's another example, using Ansible and a few simple roles from Ansible Galaxy: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree/master/gitlab https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree... Give Vagrant + Ansible about 15 minutes, and you'll have a nice little local GitLab server running. Modify the Ansible playbook slightly, to point it at a VM on Digital Ocean or elsewhere, and you'll have a nice little hosted copy of something like GitHub. I run an instance of GitLab on a Digital Ocean droplet, and back it up to a cheap RamNode VPS; all my GitHub repos are pulled daily to repos on the GitLab server (for backup purposes—I use the GitHub repos primarily), and I also use this GitLab server as a central repo to which I push changes for my sites/services, and pull from on production servers. There are many good reasons to put certain repositories on GitHub, and there are some good reasons to host some repositories yourself (or to just have one local working copy, with a backup).
