Use cases for Gitea on Hostwares

  • Run a private Gitea instance for your team — data stays on infrastructure you control.
  • Replace SaaS Gitea with a self-hosted deployment that scales with your Hostwares pack.
  • Keep Gitea behind your domain with automatic SSL and hostwares.app fallback URL.
  • Self-hosted Git platform — now with dedicated resources, backups and full container access.

What you get with managed Gitea

Every Gitea instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.

One-click deploy

Gitea is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the gitea-with-postgresql image and wires storage.

SSL included

Every Gitea deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.

Dedicated resources

Gitea runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.

Full container access

It is your container: exec into Gitea, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.

Status and logs

Start, stop and restart Gitea from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.

Managed by HW

Ask our AI to deploy Gitea, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.

Available as giteagitea-with-mariadbgitea-with-mysqlgitea-with-postgresql— pick the bundled variant if you want its database provisioned alongside it.
