Gitea preinstalled for AWS. Gitea 1.25 with nginx and SQLite on Ubuntu 24.04, with a per instance administrator password generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Gitea by cloudimg
Gitea is the open source self hosted Git service. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Gitea fully installed and configured, so a working Git server is running within minutes of launch. The release available is Gitea 1.25.
## Application Stack
The image runs Gitea behind nginx on port 80, with SQLite as the embedded database and git over SSH on port 222. The Gitea service runs as a dedicated git system user with repositories on a resizable data volume.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service rotates the Gitea secret key, internal token and JWT secret, creates a fresh cloudimg administrator account and writes the password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Gitea service, the database and the nginx reverse proxy are all configured. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the cloudimg administrator, and begin creating repositories.
## cloudimg Support
cloudimg provides 24/7 technical support for this image, covering Gitea deployment, configuration, performance tuning, authentication integration and upgrades.
