Gitea VPS Server - Private Git Hosting Offshore

GitHub is owned by Microsoft and subject to US law - source code hosted there can be subpoenaed, OFAC-sanctioned (as developers in sanctioned countries have discovered), or simply made unavailable due to policy changes. Gitea on an offshore VPS solves all of these problems. It is written in Go and runs on 256 MB RAM - the most resource-efficient self-hosted Git platform available. Teams of any size get private repositories, fine-grained access controls, webhook integrations with CI systems like Woodpecker CI or Drone, and a web interface identical in feel to GitHub. Your intellectual property stays in a jurisdiction you choose.

Getting Gitea running takes under 10 minutes on an AnubizHost VPS: ```bash docker run -d --name gitea \ -p 3000:3000 -p 222:22 \ -v /srv/gitea:/data \ -e USER_UID=1000 -e USER_GID=1000 \ gitea/gitea:latest ``` Use a reverse proxy (Nginx or Caddy) in front for TLS termination. The first user to register becomes the admin. For teams, enable OAuth2 or configure LDAP to centralize identity management. Gitea's Actions runner (compatible with GitHub Actions YAML syntax) allows you to run CI/CD pipelines entirely on your own infrastructure without any external service dependency.

AnubizHost VPS instances are isolated at the hypervisor level - your Gitea data is not accessible to neighboring tenants or the hosting staff without your credentials. Root access means you control the SSH host keys, disk encryption, and backup strategy entirely. For businesses with export-controlled technology, proprietary algorithms, or simply a preference for keeping source code off US servers, an offshore Gitea instance is the professionally responsible choice. Pay for hosting with cryptocurrency to keep the hosting relationship separate from corporate financial records. AnubizHost's Iceland and Romania locations offer GDPR-aligned privacy with minimal foreign government cooperation obligations.
