Actually not too much time ago there was a thread about migrating to the
self-managed version of gitlab.

https://about.gitlab.com/install/

This is what we use in my work and it is pretty completed and
functional. AFAIK it is open source:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab

And it works pretty fine out of the box with minimal configuration. The
common integration with grafana, jenkins works pretty fine (I use it
every day in my work) and the developer community is very open, so if
there is any specific feature we need and it is not available they are
usually available to help.

AFAIR the only missing problem was the integration with emacs to track
issues, and other "advanced" functionalities from there. But so far
there were some initial work already done like:

https://github.com/nlamirault/emacs-gitlab
https://gitlab.com/joewreschnig/gitlab-ci-mode/
https://github.com/nlamirault/emacs-gitlab

I think that SourceHut will have the same limitations and will be less
stable than gitlab at the moment.
