Gitea

Gitea is the lightweight Git platform for self-hosting: repositories, issues, pull requests, code reviews, a wiki, CI actions and a package registry – all in a fast, resource-efficient application. With Managed Gitea Hosting, you get these features as a ready-to-use service, without having to administer a Git server yourself.

Who is Gitea suitable for?

Gitea is ideal for software companies, agencies and in-house IT teams whose source code does not belong in the US cloud: custom development projects subject to non-disclosure agreements, embedded and industrial projects, or software for public sector organisations. Teams who find GitLab too cumbersome also appreciate Gitea: its feature set covers day-to-day needs, the interface remains fast and clear – with unlimited private repositories and no per-user charge.

Gitea hosting in Switzerland

With OpenHosting, your Gitea instance runs in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region. Your source code – often your most valuable trade secret – is therefore subject to Swiss law and is stored in compliance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG). Updates, monitoring and support are included in the managed service, whilst daily backups following the 3-2-1 principle safeguard repositories, issues and configuration (hourly on the Business plan). Gitea handles most of the migration from GitHub or GitLab itself: repositories, including issues, labels and releases, can be imported directly via the web interface – and we’ll guide you through the process. Managed Gitea hosting is available from CHF 19 per month.
