Yeah I forgot to mention too a lot of complexity goes away if you host it on a good IaaS platform. On AWS for example you could just mount an EBS volume as the bare repo root and use RDS for a database. Then you just have to deploy and manage an EC2 instance to host gitea's main process. It's more expensive to use those managed platforms but might be well worth the cost vs. doing it all yourself with a bare metal deployment of everything.
