Gogs Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Gogs hosting gives your team a private Git service without a heavyweight forge stack. Deploy Gogs 0.14.3 as a self-hosted Git service with repositories, issues, pull requests, releases and organizations behind a familiar web interface: xCloud runs the pinned image, keeps everything in one SQLite-backed gogs_data volume and publishes it over HTTPS, and you create the first administrator in Gogs' own installer.

What is Gogs?

Self-hosted Gogs is a Git service. Its README says the project aims to build a simple, stable and extensible self-hosted Git service that can be set up in the most painless way, as an independent Go binary. It offers user, organization and repository management, issues, pull requests, a wiki, protected branches and webhooks. Teams run it in place of a hosted forge such as GitHub when they want repositories on their own server, under the MIT licence.

On xCloud the template runs the gogs/gogs next-0.14.3 image as a single container pinned by immutable digest, with SQLite as the built-in database and one gogs_data volume at /data for repositories, configuration and logs. HTTPS is published on your domain. No password is generated: you complete Gogs' installer and create the first administrator. Only HTTPS Git access is exposed, not SSH.

From Sign-Up to a Live Gogs Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a Git service normally means a container, a database, an installer, a domain and a certificate before a single repository exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it by hand.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Gogs from the OneClick catalog. Choose a site title and domain and submit — there are no app-specific fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the vendor-maintained Gogs 0.14.3 image pinned by immutable digest, mount the gogs_data volume at /data and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Complete Setup And Create A Repository
Open your HTTPS URL, keep SQLite selected and confirm the repository path stays under /data, then complete Gogs' built-in installation form. Create the initial administrator, sign in, and create your first private repository. Clone it over HTTPS — SSH cloning is intentionally not exposed by this template.

Everything Gogs Does, On Your Own Server

Gogs runs in full here — a self-hosted private Git service, on infrastructure you control.

Private Git Repositories
Host private repositories behind a familiar, lightweight web interface, stored on the gogs_data volume.
Issues, Pull Requests & Releases
Track work, review changes and publish releases without leaving Gogs.
Organizations
Group repositories and collaborators under organizations, the same way you would on a hosted forge.
Lightweight, SQLite-Backed
No separate database service to run — Gogs' built-in SQLite database keeps the footprint small.
HTTPS Git Cloning
Clone, fetch and push over HTTPS with standard Git tooling. SSH cloning is intentionally not exposed by this template.
Official Multi-Arch Image
Runs the official Gogs image pinned by immutable digest, supporting common server architectures.

What You Can Do With Gogs

Host private repositories for a small team
Create repositories and organizations for your projects and let teammates clone, fetch and push over HTTPS, with every repository stored on a Cloud VPS you control.
Track work next to the code
Use issues, pull requests, a wiki and protected branches in the same web interface, so planning and review stay with the repository they belong to.
Run Git on a very small server
Because Gogs is one lightweight binary on SQLite, it fits a modest server and leaves plenty of the 6 GB plan for other OneClick apps beside it.
Notify chat tools on every push
Set repository or organization webhooks, including Slack, Discord and Dingtalk as the README lists, so a push or issue reaches your team's chat.

Gogs vs Alternatives

GitHub: Compared with GitHub, Gogs keeps repositories, issues and configuration on a server you run, under the MIT licence, and this template exposes HTTPS Git access with SQLite storage.
Gitea: Gitea has its own xCloud template. Gogs' README stresses a simple, stable and extensible service in one independent binary, so compare the features you need before choosing.
Forgejo: Forgejo has its own xCloud template. Gogs here runs as one container on SQLite with no runner bundled, which suits small teams that want little to operate.
GitLab: GitLab has its own xCloud template. Gogs here is one lightweight container with repositories, issues and pull requests, and no bundled CI service.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does Gogs need?

The manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk, because Gogs is a single lightweight binary using SQLite. The 6 GB plan on this page clears that by a wide margin, leaving room for larger repositories and other apps on the same server.

Is Gogs free and open source?

Yes. Gogs is MIT licensed, per the LICENSE file at the v0.14.3 tag, and the software itself carries no price. xCloud's charge is for the dedicated Cloud VPS only, and your repositories, issues and configuration stay on the gogs_data volume in your own server.

Can you run Gogs with Docker?

Yes, and this is Gogs Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the gogs/gogs next-0.14.3 image as one container, pinned by immutable digest, with gogs_data mounted at /data and HTTPS in front on your domain. SQLite is built in, so no separate database container is needed.

How do I create the first administrator in Gogs?

Through Gogs' own built-in installer; the template generates no password. Open your HTTPS URL, keep SQLite selected, confirm the repository path stays under /data, complete the form, then register the initial administrator. Do this straight after install, before anyone else finds the address.

Does Gogs support SSH cloning?

Upstream does, but not with this template. Its README lists access over SSH, HTTP and HTTPS, while this install deliberately publishes only the web interface, so clone, fetch and push over HTTPS with standard Git tooling. SSH cloning is intentionally not exposed.

Does Gogs support webhooks and Git LFS?

Per its README, yes: repository and organization webhooks including Slack, Discord and Dingtalk, plus Git hooks, deploy keys and Git LFS. They are Gogs features, not xCloud ones, and the template preconfigures none, so set them up in the Gogs web interface as you need.

What is the difference between Gogs and Gitea?

They are separate projects with their own feature sets; xCloud has OneClick templates for both. Gogs' README describes a simple, stable and extensible Git service in one binary. Compare the issue tracking, CI and package features you need before choosing, since this page cannot rank them for you.

Gitea hosting

Can anyone register on my Gogs server?

Gogs' own admin settings can turn off public sign-up, and the template does not preconfigure it. After you create the accounts you intend to use, check that setting so the server stays limited to the people you invite and strangers cannot register.

What should I back up on a Gogs server?

A backup is the gogs_data volume as one unit. It holds the SQLite database, every repository, configuration and logs, and should be restored as one unit. Stop writes or use Gogs' own supported backup workflow first, and test a restore before relying on the copy.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Gogs?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins 0.14.3 by immutable digest. When a newer template version is published, read the upstream CHANGELOG, back up the gogs_data volume, adopt that version, then verify administrator login and a repository read-back.

Is this Gogs cloud hosting?

It is your own Gogs on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not a hosted Git service. The container, the gogs_data volume and your administrator belong to your install, and only the web interface is published over HTTPS on your domain.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
