How to set up Gitea with NautilusControl

  1. Install NautilusControl

    Install the NautilusControl panel and agent on the machine that will run the server. The installation guide covers it, and the 14-day free trial includes 1 node and 5 servers.

  2. Import the Gitea template

    Download this template (a single JSON file) with the button above, then open Templates in NautilusControl and choose Import JSON.

  3. Create the server

    Create a new container and pick Gitea. NautilusControl pulls gitea/gitea:1.22-rootless, fills in the environment variables listed below, and creates the folders for you.

  4. Open the ports

    Allow ports 3000, 2222 through your firewall, and forward them on your router if people connect from outside your network.

  5. Start it

    Press Start and follow the startup log in the panel.

Server files come from gitea.io.

Notes

Lightweight self-hosted Git service — like a private GitHub. Uses SQLite by default.
