Host your repositories on infrastructure you control with Gitea, a custom domain, and free SSL. Your source of truth stays on hardware you own.
The problem
Hosted Git services are convenient, but they put your source of truth, your issues, and your CI on someone else's servers, under their pricing and their outages.
Self-hosting Git has a reputation for being heavy. In practice, a single lightweight container plus a reverse proxy and a certificate is all it takes.
The solution
Gitea is a fast, lightweight Git server that runs comfortably on a small VPS. Manage it as a container with logs and a web terminal from the dashboard.
Put Gitea behind a proxy host on your own domain, with a Let's Encrypt certificate provisioned and renewed automatically.
Repositories live on Docker volumes you control, so backup and restore happen on your own schedule.
Know when the container is unhealthy or resource-constrained before it affects your team's workflow.
