In Detail

Why Your Own Git Server?

Your code lives on your server instead of on someone else’s platform. Forgejo and Gitea have no per-user licence, are lightweight and run smoothly even on the smallest package.

Forgejo and Gitea are lean, self-hosted Git platforms with a web interface: repositories, issues, pull requests with code review, wiki, releases and organisations for teams. Forgejo is a community-run fork of Gitea; both feel very similar, and you pick one of them in the panel. The install creates your admin account, the web installer is skipped and open registration is switched off – as admin you create users yourself. Git over SSH runs on port 2222, over HTTPS with your domain, for which the panel sets up a Let’s Encrypt certificate if you like. For CI pipelines both support Actions workflows; for that you set up a runner, for example on the same or a second server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions

Forgejo or Gitea – which should I take?
Both are very similar in use and features. Forgejo is developed by a non-profit community, Gitea is run by a company. For getting started the choice makes little difference; both are available in the panel.
Can I bring over repositories from GitHub or GitLab?
Yes. Both come with a migration feature that can take over repositories including issues, pull requests and releases from GitHub, GitLab and other platforms.
How do I access repositories via SSH?
Git over SSH runs on port 2222. Add your public key to your profile, then clone with the SSH address the web interface shows you.
Is there CI/CD?
Yes, via Actions workflows in the style of GitHub Actions. For that you need a runner, which you set up on your server or on another server.
