What is Gitea?

Gitea keeps your code and CI on your own VPS.

Gitea gives you a complete, self-hosted home for your code: browse repositories, review pull requests, track issues and run CI pipelines from one fast web interface. Gitea hosting at ZAP-Hosting deploys this open-source Git service in one click via Coolify on your own KVM VPS, so your private Git server is ready in minutes instead of after an evening of writing Docker Compose files.

Because the VPS is yours, Gitea runs the way your team works: connect over SSH, put it on your own domain with HTTPS, enable Gitea Actions with a runner next to the instance, or pull mirrors from other platforms. You decide who gets an account, which repositories stay private and where your data lives, with full root access instead of a shared, managed tenant.

Gitea keeps your code and CI on your own VPS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Gitea

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Order a VPS, open the One-Click Apps tab in your dashboard and deploy Gitea through Coolify. Coolify prepares the container, storage and proxy for you; afterwards you finish Gitea's web installer and create your admin account. Prefer a manual setup? With root access you can also install Gitea via Docker or as a binary. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center

  • Pick a VPS package and location
  • Open One-Click Apps and deploy Gitea
  • Finish the web installer in your browser

Gitea itself is lightweight: for a solo developer or a small team, around 1–2 CPU cores and 1–2 GB RAM is usually enough. Larger teams, big repositories and code search benefit from more RAM. If an Actions runner builds on the same VPS, plan extra cores and memory for the jobs. All package specs and live prices are shown in the pricing section.

  • Solo or small team: a smaller package
  • Growing team: more RAM for search and many repos
  • With an Actions runner: extra CPU cores for builds

Yes. Gitea is open-source software under the MIT license, so you can use it privately and commercially without license fees or user limits from Gitea. You only pay for the VPS it runs on.

  • MIT-licensed open source
  • Commercial use allowed
  • No per-user fees from Gitea

Yes. Enable Actions in Gitea and register an act_runner on the same VPS or on a second server. Workflows use a syntax close to GitHub Actions, so many existing workflows run with few changes. Builds use the VPS's CPU and RAM, so size the package for your heaviest pipelines.

  • Runner on the same VPS or a separate one
  • Workflow syntax close to GitHub Actions
  • Size CPU and RAM for your builds

Yes. Gitea's built-in migration tool imports repositories from GitHub, GitLab, Gogs and any plain Git URL, optionally including issues, pull requests, labels, milestones and wikis. You can also set up pull mirrors that keep a copy in sync automatically.

  • Built-in migration from GitHub and GitLab
  • Issues, pull requests and wikis included
  • Pull mirrors keep copies in sync

Yes. Every Gitea VPS comes with full root access via SSH plus a browser console in the dashboard. You can edit app.ini, adjust the SSH clone setup, add your own domain with HTTPS, install extra tools and update Gitea through Coolify or manually, whenever you choose. First SSH access explained

  • Root via SSH and browser console
  • Own domain with HTTPS
  • Updates on your schedule

Gitea ships its own gitea dump command, which bundles repositories, database and configuration into one archive you can store off-server. On the VPS level you can create, download and restore manual Backups in the dashboard with a ZapX Pass. Combining both gives you an app-level and a server-level copy. How Backups work in the Help Center

  • gitea dump for an app-level archive
  • Manual VPS Backups and restore with ZapX Pass
  • Keep a copy off-server

Yes, you can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. When ordering, you choose from locations in Europe and America, so pick the one closest to your team. Many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.
