About
Your own Git hosting with a web interface, issues and pull requests. Like GitHub, but on your device and for the people you choose.
Notes
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.
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.
