Gitea is a community-managed lightweight Git hosting service. It provides code hosting, issue tracking, code reviews, and built-in wikis with a clean and familiar user interface that mimics GitHub closely.

Why Host Gitea?

  • Extremely Low Footprint: Gitea is incredibly efficient. It can run on a tiny Raspberry Pi or a $6/month DigitalOcean droplet with near-zero memory footprint (uses around 100MB of RAM!).
  • Familiar UI: If you know how to use GitHub, you already know how to use Gitea. There is no learning curve for developers.
  • Painless Install: Simply download the single binary for your platform, run it, or spin it up instantly via Docker!

Getting Started

A basic Docker Compose file with Gitea and a PostgreSQL database runs flawlessly on any standard cloud droplet in seconds.
