I've recently set up my own Gitea instance and I figured I'd share a simple guide on how to do it yourself. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone looking to get started.

If you have any feedback please feel free to comment it bellow.

I started running my own Gitea instance because I wanted a private place to host my Obsidian notes.

I don't have the time to read the article now, but permit a question: what do you use Gitea for?

I'm holding my dotfiles on a SSH server, clone/push over SSH, and it's enough to do Git. I don't need a ticket system, or wiki or anything (I use plaintext notes).

$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host srv
  Hostname srv.mywhatever.com

$ git clone srv:/path/to/repo
$ cd repo
$ git push

I'm hoping federation will allow me to get rid of my github entirely, but that's wishful thinking I fear
