Enterprise Open Source Software (OSS) Infrastructure
GitLab CE and Gitea Self-Hosted Pipelines
Self-hosted Git gives you control over code retention, telemetry, and pipeline execution. GitLab CE bundles CI, registry, and review tooling in one heavy stack, while Gitea stays small and depends on external CI. The decision hinges on how much integrated functionality you need versus how much you want to operate.
Points clés
- Disable telemetry and external integrations you do not explicitly need.
- Run runners in isolated environments with scoped credentials.
- Back up repositories and CI configuration together, and test restores.
- Enforce branch protection and signed commits where policy requires them.
- Set artifact and registry retention so storage does not grow without bound.
- Monitor runner queue time as the primary CI health signal.
- Keep the platform patched, since it holds both source code and pipeline secrets.
- Integrate with your identity provider instead of maintaining local accounts.
Questions fréquentes
Is GitLab CE enough without a paid tier?
For many teams yes, though some compliance and scaling features are commercial.
Why choose Gitea?
It is much lighter and easier to operate, with CI handled by a separate system.
How do I prevent code exfiltration?
Restrict egress from runners, audit tokens, and block unreviewed external integrations.
Can I migrate between them?
Repositories migrate cleanly. Pipelines and issues usually need rework.
