Gogs is a self-hosted Git service written in Go, distributed as a single binary that runs on virtually any platform including ARM devices like Raspberry Pi. It provides repository hosting with issues, pull requests, wikis, webhooks, and authentication via SMTP, LDAP, and reverse proxy.

Use cases

• host my own git server
• self-hosted github alternative
• lightweight git hosting on raspberry pi
• private git repository server for a small team
• run a git service with low memory usage
• migrate repositories from github to my own server
• git server with ldap authentication

When to choose

• you need an extremely lightweight Git hosting service that runs on minimal hardware like a Raspberry Pi or 64MB RAM
• you want a simple single-binary deployment with no complex dependencies
• you need a self-hosted Git service with SQLite support for easy setup
• you prefer a stable, mature project with a small resource footprint over a feature-rich one

When to avoid

• you need advanced features like built-in CI/CD, code review approvals, or extensive plugin ecosystems
• you want the most actively developed Git platform with frequent feature releases
• you require deep GitHub Actions compatibility or modern DevOps integrations
• you need enterprise-grade scalability for very large organizations
