GitBucket is a self-hosted Git web platform written in Scala that provides repositories, issues, pull requests, wikis, and GitHub API compatibility. It installs easily as a single WAR file runnable with Java 17 and is extensible through a plugin system.
Use cases
- self-host a private GitHub alternative
- host git repositories on my own server
- run an internal code review platform
- set up issues and pull requests for a private team
- migrate off GitHub to a self-hosted git server
- deploy a lightweight git platform with LDAP integration
When to choose
- you want a GitHub-like platform that runs with just Java, no complex setup
- you need GitHub API compatibility for existing tooling
- you want plugin extensibility on a JVM stack
- you need LDAP integration for enterprise account management
When to avoid
- you need the full GitHub/GitLab feature set like CI/CD built in
- you require Jakarta EE servlet container support
- you prefer a non-JVM runtime or managed SaaS hosting
