I have installed Gitlab on my own server for other projects, and I am 
really happy with it!
https://about.gitlab.com/ tagline: "Version Control on your Server like 
GitHub but Open Source"

It even imports projects from Github in the latest version.

That said, I think you still need a full blown issue tracker. With 
github or gitlab, you cannot group tickets into subproject/packages, and 
you end up with quite a mess, I think. You cannot set several states, or 
set release versions etc.
