What's wrong with GitLab? Definitely the most mature alternative.

If you're really interested in something that will not go down or get discontinued anytime soon, I'd also suggest taking a look at Radicle which is P2P and free

I believe that their open-core business model is the biggest con. New features aren't guaranteed to land on the free version.

I see, I wasn't aware. Thanks for the info!

GitLab was known to be a resource hog not too long ago. I cannot comment on its current state, as I don't use it, but someone I know has to maintain an instance with a few developers and they have a cronjob to kill the system and reboot it every once in a while because GitLab eats the system if not restarted every once in a while...
