Migrating from GitHub is a step in the right direction. However, once you start a self hosted version, please make sure you block all bots. You use Git for collaboration and building open source software. There's no point giving access to these bots as they just consume resources; even Google and Bing, under the disguise of a search engine, use your data to train AI.

So, how do you block these bots? It is not that simple. (1/2)
