How Gitea is hosted

Valebyte launches the application automatically in a managed container. You receive its URL and application access, but not root access to the host system.

info Overview

Gitea is a lightweight, self-hosted Git service — a fast, open-source alternative to GitHub and GitLab that you fully own. Written in Go, it runs comfortably on modest resources while giving you Git repositories, issue tracking, pull requests and code review in a clean web interface.

Valebyte hosting model: Gitea launches automatically as a managed application. Choose a region and resource plan; after checkout you receive the application URL and app-level access, normally within minutes. Valebyte maintains the host infrastructure. Root access to the host is not provided, and infrastructure backups are not enabled automatically.

quiz Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gitea a good self-hosted GitHub alternative? expand_more

Yes. Gitea covers the core GitHub workflow — repositories, issues, pull requests, code review and CI/CD — but self-hosted, open-source and with no per-seat fees, running on far lighter resources than GitLab.

Does Gitea support CI/CD? expand_more

Yes. Gitea Actions is built in and is compatible with GitHub Actions, so you can reuse existing workflow files and run pipelines directly on your own instance with self-hosted runners.

How do I become the admin? expand_more

The first account you register on your new Gitea instance automatically becomes the administrator. There is no preset password — just visit your site and sign up to claim the admin account.

How long does deployment take? expand_more

About three minutes. Valebyte pulls the official Gitea image, configures it, issues an HTTPS certificate and starts it — then you register the first user to become admin.

Can I run it on a small VPS? expand_more

Yes. Gitea is a single lightweight Go binary and runs comfortably on 1 GB of RAM, making it far cheaper to host than GitLab or a managed GitHub plan.

Is my code private? expand_more

Yes. Your repositories, issues and CI data live in your managed Valebyte application environment and are never shared with a third party — you own the server and the data on it.
