How does this compare to GitLab?

“You will be running Sidekiq, Unicorn, Nginx, Ruby (plus all its gems) and then Gitlab itself.”

It's basically most of the features of GitHub; if you want the rest of GitLab's features you'll have to set them up yourself.

Still, it's hard to beat free and lightweight.

Depends on what you need. Gitea has no CI like Gitlab.

Besides that it is a lot less resource hungry.

Gogs + Drone pairs very well :)

Gitea pairs even better since Gitea supports the CI status API.

Ok, of course I'm opinionated as a Drone plugins maintainer and former Gitea owner :P

I was also wondering this, plus kind of expecting it to be hosted on gitea. Being hosted on github lowers my confidence.

It could potentially be the result of a more lean (or non existing) organization. It takes resources to host such a platform.

Gitea has a TODO list for hosting Gitea on Gitea. See https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029

Thanks for pointing it out - I didn't go through the issues before posting.

Most compilers I'm aware of gets compiled by themselves. I think it's great for two things:

1) Show how serious the compiler is - compiler code tends to be complicated 2) Free real life testing

I was expecting Gitea to be hosted on Gitea for the same reasons. Was trying to offer criticism but got downvoted immediately, ahh HN =)
