Overview
Gitea is a lightweight, self-hosted all-in-one DevOps platform written in Go that covers Git hosting, pull-request code review, issue tracking, wiki, team management, package registry, and a built-in CI/CD system (Gitea Actions). It is distributed as a single binary or Docker image, making it easy to run on modest hardware. A managed cloud option is available at gitea.com.
Setup and operations guides
Use these practical guides to plan the deployment, security, backups, and recovery work behind this project.
Where it falls short of GitHub
- Advanced Jira-style sprint planning, roadmaps, and velocity charts are absent
- No native real-time pair-programming or live collaboration tools
- Gitea Actions ecosystem is smaller than GitHub Actions; fewer third-party action integrations
- Enterprise SSO (SAML, advanced LDAP group sync) requires extra configuration effort
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
