Why Create Your Own Git Server?

Improved security
GitHub, and other services, provide good protective parameters but accidents can happen, and have happened in the past. In general, having any sensitive data on third-party servers should be avoided.
More control
Managing your git server means you can customize and optimize the hosting environment for your needs specifically. Many of the premium options you get on your own server for free will cost you extra on a hosted service.
More options
There’s no reason why you can’t do a combination of both. If someone on your teams want to host their part of the project on GitHub, or another service, they’re free to do that. Git is decentralized. You can have multiple remote repository locations.

Here is the Agenda
Setup self hosted git repository with gitea IN 30 MINUTES

Install Pre-requisites (git, wget, apache2)
In order to get gitea we have to install wget and git if not already installed. We want to run gitea behind a proxy so that we can increase the security of our system

Install MariaDB
Gitea can use a wide variety of DB’s including MariaDB/MySQL, PostreSQL, SQLite and TiDB. We will use MariaDB because it is just our preference

Install Gitea

Install LetsEncrypt and create SSL certificate for encrypted communication
We further want to secure our environment by integrating SSL (Secure Socket layer) so all our traffic can be encrypted. For this we will install LetsEncrypt and create the SSL certificates. We will further lock down The AWS firewall as well as the EC2 server Rules
