So do you mean I should set up additional user accounts on my Linux
machine?

I see, I tried out once kallithea, that setup was also well complicated.

Right now I am looking for a very simple dirty solution just in case the
only remaining free service (including private repositories) for
mercurial will abandon mercurial.

Heptapod also offers private repository but the price tag is high, and I
use these repositories not for software development but for
collaboration using latex to write up documents.
