I'm hosting Gitea (together with around 10 other services) on a 1/1 instance (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM) at Hetzner. Those can be had for € 2,50 per month.

That's the big issue.
- weavie 8y agoHow do you find the performance compared to Github?
- olavgg 8y agoI think that backend is really fast, but I believe that is because when I self host it is on a local server with extremely low latency. The UI is somewhat slower though, code highlightning show up a second after page render.

- merb 8y agowe (company 4 people) can use gitlab at 4vCPUs 4 GB Ram (which is slow when browsing repos) vs 1vCPUs 1GB RAM which is still ridicoulus fast.
- majewsky 8y agoGitea is not going to have hundreds of developers working on it, and users will not visit their project page all too often, so I don't see any scaling issues (besides, maybe, network bandwidth when they put out a new release and everyone comes in to grab the tarball).

I don't think so: Github can work as OAuth provider, Gitea supports OAuth integration, so the self-hosted instance can still authenticate people using their Github accounts.
