Forgejo. A single tiny golang binary, I think about 200mb. It has 75% of the functionality of gitlab with 5% of the resource requirements. I migrated to it and have never missed gitlab.
Forgejo is lightweight relative to some other options, but it is not resilient to scraping. Scrapers can access, commit-by-commit, each individual file, each file's "git blame", and each commit's repository archive... and they do. Most public Forgejo instances need to rely on a reverse proxy like Anubis or Iocaine in order to prevent server resources from being exhausted by bad actors. Or require sign-in for all access.
