I think that either "Pro Git" book, or "The Git Community Book"
would be a best source to learn about setting-up git server.

I think the simplest solution for git hosting management would be to
use gitolite (there are other git repository management software:
Gitosis, SCM Manager, Gitblit).

If you want to host something like GitHub, there are open source
solutions too: Gitorious, InDefero, Girocco + gitweb,...
