About Hosting Gitea

This template runs the official gitea/gitea:latest image with a persistent volume at /data holding repositories, configuration and the built-in SQLite database. The public URL is already set as the server root URL. On first visit you see the install page: keep the default SQLite3 database, scroll to Administrator Account Settings to create your admin user, then click Install. Git over HTTPS works through the public URL; SSH is not exposed.
