Private Git Hosting on AWS - Ready in Minutes
Gitea is the popular open source, self-hosted Git service - a lightweight, fast alternative to GitHub and GitLab. This AMI delivers Gitea fully installed and hardened so engineering teams of any size can run a private Git server within minutes of launch. Whether you are a startup replacing per-seat SaaS costs, a regulated fintech keeping source code within your own VPC for compliance, or a DevOps team needing full control over CI pipelines, this image gets you there without manual setup.
The current release available is Gitea 1.26, providing repositories, pull requests, issues, a built-in CI (Gitea Actions), packages, wikis, and code review.
Application Stack
The Gitea server - a single Go binary serving both the API and the web UI - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. PostgreSQL is the datastore. Both the server and database bind to the loopback interface, limiting exposure to external networks.
Secure By Default
On first boot a one-shot service:
- Generates fresh server secrets (SECRET_KEY, INTERNAL_TOKEN, OAuth2 JWT secret) unique to your instance
- Runs database migrations
- Creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password written to a root-only file
Open registration is disabled and the installer page is locked. No shared or default credentials ship in the image. Unlike many community AMIs that rely on generic passwords or manual hardening, this image is production-ready from the first boot.
Example Use Case
A 10-person engineering team at a fintech company needs to keep proprietary source code off third-party SaaS platforms to satisfy data-residency requirements. They launch this AMI, sign in as the administrator, create repositories, push code over HTTPS or SSH, open pull requests, and run CI pipelines via Gitea Actions - all within their own AWS account. Registration can be enabled or users added from the admin panel as the team grows.
Getting Started
- Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace in your preferred region.
- Ensure your security group allows inbound traffic on ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS).
- SSH into the instance and retrieve the administrator password from the root-only file.
- Open the Gitea web UI in your browser and sign in.
- Create your first repository, configure SSH keys, and invite your team.
- Optionally configure TLS termination via nginx or an AWS Application Load Balancer.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Gitea is served on port 80 through nginx (the server listens on 127.0.0.1:3000). Retrieve the generated administrator login with: sudo cat /root/gitea-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with the username and password shown. The health endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/api/healthz is open. Services are managed with systemctl (gitea, postgresql, nginx). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
