We have been using gitea for several years and have found it to be an essential part of our workflow for hosting git repositories.

Gitea has quite a few features and is under active development bringing new functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being self hosted means as new versions are released, you do need to update your installation. So far we have had no issues with any of the upgrades and it has been a smooth process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightweight and easy to install, User-friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Enterprise feature, limited support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing that makes gitea great is the ability to host git server locally onto our own machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that you need adequate Linux shell knowledge to install it on your own server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides being a self-hosted alternative to GitHub, it has many features (issues, milestones, wiki, etc.) while keeping the resource usage very low, compared to GitLab. Gitea doesn't have a Continuous Integration (CI) system built-in but it offers integration with other popular CI platforms like Drone CI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backup and restore functionality is very basic. For example, there is no automatic backup feature so we had to develop our scripts to make and rotate the backups. The restore functionality is missing as well since one has to follow a guide to restore a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
