Self-Hosted Git with Gitea

Gitea is a fast, tiny self-hosted Git service — repos, issues, pull requests, CI, and a web UI — that runs comfortably on a small box.

#Run it with Compose

services:
  gitea:
    image: gitea/gitea:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes: ["gitea:/data"]
    ports: ["127.0.0.1:3000:3000", "2222:22"]   # web + SSH
volumes: { gitea: {} }

Front the web port with a reverse proxy for HTTPS, and push over SSH on the dedicated port:

git remote add origin git@your-host:2222/you/repo.git
