Na, not Gitea with a Chinese Limited Company behind it or actually owning it. (https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/) Better use free Forgejo (https://forgejo.org) and enjoy a CI/CD pipeline with Actions. Forgejo powers Codeberg e.V. (https://codeberg.org) the GitHub-Killer for open source Repos.
I’ve put some smaller projects on it:
And using Forgeo instances for GitOps-Workflows for instance as replacement for Veeam Backup saving my Customer huge Licences costs of 18.000 Euro (sorry in german, you need to translate yourself: Backups in Unternehmen)
Thanks for the heads up! I will have to look into switching the core to Forgejo (holy cow is that difficult to say).
I am still looking for people to test out the installation procedure (though, admittedly, it has now been delayed 
)
installation procedure? it’s a single Go Binary… just download and let go… literally…
Well, that’s the simple way to put it. In reality, there are a number of additional steps and I’ve been building Lifeboat to automate these steps. I’ve also found corrections to be necessary 
I want to encourage people to use source control, so the features for setting up a self-hosted Git-cloud will not be pay-walled. I really do hope I help someone get into self-hosting.
My first Gitea Instance 5 years ago was a plugin on my FreeNAS Storage (today TrueNAS). Basically some clicks in the WebUI and some more on my Reverse Proxy to bring it to the Internet.
So maybe for the beginning a good start would be a proper storage system with Gitea or Forgejo as Container, Plugin or whatever.
