Gitea allows you to self-host your git repositories similar to bare repositories, but comes with additional features that you might know from GitHub, such as issues, pull requests or multiple users. Its advantage over GitLab – another Free Software GitHub clone – is that it is much more lightweight and easier to setup.

Head over to gitea.com to see what it looks like in practice.

Although Gitea is lighter than Gitlab, if you have a VPS with only 512MB of RAM, you will probably have to upgrade. Gitea is more memory-intensive than having just a bare git repository.

Installing Gitea

Setting up Gitea

If everything worked fine you should now see a setup screen like this when you go to your configured domain in the browser. The options should be pretty self-explanatory, it is only important to select SQLite3 and to replace the base url and SSH server domain with your own. Here's an example:

Note: These settings can be changed in a configuration file later so don't worry about making wrong decisions right now.

Database Type:

SQLite3

SSH Server Domain:

git.example.org

Gitea Base URL:
+
git.example.org

These and other settings can be changed in a configuration file later so don't worry about making wrong decisions right now.

After clicking the install button you should now be able to log into your Gitea instance with the account you just created! Explore the settings for more things to do, such as setting up your SSH keys.

+

If Gitea does not load fully and has random errors, it is possible that you need to increase your available memory on your VPS. This can usually be done on your VPS-provider's website without too much trouble.

A few extras

Automatically create a new repo on push

This is an incredicly useful feature for me. Open up /etc/gitea/app.ini and add DEFAULT_PUSH_CREATE_PRIVATE = true to the repository section like so:


If you now add a remote to a repository like this

- 
git remote add origin 'ssh://gitea@git.landchad.net/chad/coolproject.git'
+ 
git remote add origin 'ssh://gitea@git.example.org/username/coolproject.git'

and push, Gitea will automatically create a private coolproject repository in your account!
