Gitea is "Git with a cup of tea", a self-hosted Git repository that's very reminiscent of Github. It has repos, issues, all of the familiar stuff you'd expect from a first glance.
Install instructions for Gitea running under Docker are straightforward. The one tweak I added was that because I'm running Tailscale on this system (a Pi 4 with SSD) that I am binding the external address of the container to a Tailscale address, e.g.
- "100.108.39.122:13000:3000"
instead of
- "3000:3000"
This ensures for the moment that I have to connect via the VPN, and that I can connect via the VPN, and it means also that I have access to this private Gitea from my phone without any extra fuss.
The next challenge looks like backups, since if I'm going to commit anything to this device that I want to keep indefinitely, I'll want to save it or sync it somewhere offsite. But first I think I need to use it for a while to get my tally board more green.
