Gitea – Lightweight Git Management as a Service
Git repositories without the overhead.
Gitea is our standard for self-hosted Git management – fast, resource-efficient, and fully integrated into our CI/CD stack.
Gitea: Git Management for Developer Teams
Lightweight, fast Git frontend with web UI, access control, and webhooks – operated by RiKuWe.
- Self-hosted Git server with web interface
- User & permission management with role models
- Webhooks, branch protection & API access
Why Gitea?
Gitea offers all the core features of a modern Git service – without the complexity or heavy resource requirements of larger platforms.
- Fast web interface for code hosting, pull requests, and issues
- Full control over repos, permissions, teams, and branch protection
- Easily integrates with CI/CD systems like Woodpecker or GitHub Actions
Ideal for small to mid-sized teams who value privacy, simplicity, and performance.
Typical Use Cases
- In-house development teams focused on self-hosting
- Projects requiring GDPR-compliant Git hosting
- DevOps setups with custom CI/CD pipelines
- Lightweight projects looking to avoid GitLab
Part of Our DevOps Stack
Gitea integrates perfectly with other tools:
- Woodpecker CI for lightweight pipelines
- Harbor as a secure container registry
- Kubernetes for GitOps-based deployments
- Keycloak for centralized authentication & SSO
We handle setup, operations, backups, and updates – including permission management and GitOps integration.
Why Not GitLab?
GitLab is powerful – but often overkill.
For many teams, Gitea is more than enough and saves:
- System resources (RAM, CPU, storage)
- Admin complexity
- Licensing costs (GitLab Premium)
Still prefer GitLab? We offer that too – see more here.
Gitea with structure – not just a Git server
We take care of:
- Installation & updates
- Encryption & monitoring
- Backups & replication
- Authentication & roles
Your team gets a reliable Git system – with zero admin burden.
