Gitea

Self-hosted Git server with web UI, issues, pull requests and a CI runner protocol — a community-driven GitHub alternative. This profile uses Gitea's embedded SQLite backend so you don't have to operate a separate database.

Notes

Built from the official gitea/gitea image. SSH and HTTPS clone URLs both work; the platform's domain wizard fronts HTTPS for you.

All repositories, configuration and the SQLite DB live in the mounted data directory (/data inside the container). Back that folder up and you've backed up every repo.

How to self-host Gitea

01

Connect a device: a Raspberry Pi, a Linux machine, or an Apple silicon Mac.

02

Click install in the dashboard. The template is signed; your device verifies the signature before anything runs.

03

Optionally attach your own domain. HTTPS certificate included, no port forwarding.

Run it on your own hardware.

Your data stays on your device. obacht handles the tunnel, SSL, and domain.
