Getting Started
To install your own Gitea instance:
-
Start creating a new Hostman server or reinstalling an existing one and select Marketplace → Gitea.
-
Select server parameters. The official documentation recommends using 2 CPU cores for GItea. However, Gitea will still run on the minimum Hostman configuration. Should you need more resources, you can always upgrade your server later.
-
Finish creating your server and wait for installation to complete.
Visit your server’s IP address in the browser to perform basic configuration and run your Gitea platform.
