Selfhost your own gitea instance - selfhosted, lightweight github alternative | 4rkal's blog

In this article I’ll walk you through how you can run your own gitea instance. But first What is gitea? Gitea is a painless selfhosted Git service. It is written in Go and is extremely lightweight. I run a gitea instance on my Le Potato and it barely uses any resources. Why use gitea (vs GitHub, GitLab etc) I started running my own Gitea instance because I wanted a private place to host my Obsidian notes.

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.
