I’ve recently set up my own Gitea instance and I figured I’d share a simple guide on how to do it yourself. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone looking to get started.

If you have any feedback please feel free to comment it bellow.

    There’s been a hostile takeover at Gitea and it’s now run / owned by a for-profit company. The developers forked the project under the name Forgejo and are continuing the work under a non-profit. See also: Their introduction post and a page comparing the two projects. Feel free to look up more, since I haven’t familiarized myself with the incident all that much myself. Either way though, maybe consider using Forgejo instead of Gitea.

      That’s not what happened at all.

      Forgejo is actually the one in the wrong. It’s an hostile fork that exist only because 3 devs were mad that they weren’t hired by the company created so that the core devs of Gitea could do it full time.

      You’re just repeating their lies.

      The Forgejo people never “owned” Gitea.

    I’ll be that guy: Use forgejo instead, its main contributor is a Non-Profit compared to Gitea’s For-Profit owners
