Gitea

Gitea hosts repositories, issues and pull requests in one small Go app. This standalone preset uses SQLite and a 10 GB persistent volume, so a private Git server is running after the browser installer.

Gitea hosting on Varity costs $29.60 a month at most, with a 10 GB volume included. No request, ingress or egress fees.

Gitea hosting questions

How much does Gitea hosting cost?
$29.60 a month at most on Varity, including 10 GB of persistent storage, billed by the running minute.
Which database should I choose in the installer?
SQLite. This standalone preset has no attached database server, and SQLite keeps everything on the persistent volume.
How do I clone repositories?
Use each repository's HTTPS clone address, as in this template's setup steps.
Gitea or Forgejo?
Forgejo is a community-governed fork of Gitea from 2022, and the two work much alike. Gitea is MIT-licensed and Forgejo is GPL-licensed. Both are in this catalog.
