The software mirrors are kinda cluttering the UI of gitea. Also, they don't need to be backed up as frequently as our project repos (also, not including them in gitea dumps would greatly help on #198). Maybe we could move them to a different machine, and expose them as readonly via cgit or something similar?

Unfortunately, gickup is not really suited for the task. It was originally meant for a user to take backups of all the projects they have been involved in or starred or similar, and lacks the granularity we want here. I've made a nixos module to force it to cooperate, but there are still some unresolved issues (particularly, it can't clone repos from gitlab subgroups). I'm making a new tool at https://git.pvv.ntnu.no/Projects/kagami
