Terms and support boundaries
Infrastructure and support limits
Our company provides the Virtual Private Server infrastructure and the automation script for initial deployment. While we guarantee the availability and performance of your hardware and network, our technical support exclusively covers infrastructure-related issues – such as server connectivity, hardware stability, and billing. Assistance with application-specific configuration, software bugs, or user management is the responsibility of the server administrator or software maintainers.
Software licensing and compliance
All marketplace tools deploy standard versions of third-party software products and are provided "as-is" with no modifications to their original code. While the core of many available applications is open-source, using proprietary features or advanced enterprise tiers in production environments may be subject to the vendor's specific licensing terms. Users must manage and acquire any required commercial subscriptions directly from the software developers.
FAQ
-
Do I need a license to run Gitea?
No. Gitea is fully open-source under the MIT license – unlimited users, unlimited repositories, no feature gates in the version we deploy. A separate commercial product, Gitea Enterprise, exists for organizations that need vendor support and extra governance features – it is licensed directly from CommitGo and is not required to run Gitea.
-
How do I log in after deployment?
Once the server is provisioned, you'll find the web interface URL and a securely generated password in your INTROSERV panel. Open it over HTTPS and sign in – we recommend setting your own password after the first login.
-
How do I get a valid SSL certificate?
The server ships with a self-signed certificate enabled by default. To issue a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your own domain or the server's FQDN, connect over SSH and run the setup-ssl script in the console – one command, no manual configuration.
-
Can I migrate my repositories from GitHub or GitLab?
Yes, with built-in tooling. Use the New migration menu in the Gitea web interface, point it at your GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or another Gitea instance, and Gitea imports the repository together with issues, pull requests, labels, milestones, and releases. For plain Git remotes, code and wiki transfer without metadata.
-
Does CI/CD work out of the box?
Gitea Actions is part of the server, and workflows use GitHub Actions-compatible YAML. To actually execute jobs you register at least one runner (act_runner) – it can live on the same VPS for light pipelines or on separate machines when builds get heavy.
-
Can I clone and push over SSH?
Yes. Add your public key in profile settings and Gitea serves Git over SSH alongside HTTPS – standard git clone / git push works immediately. Copy the exact SSH URL from the Clone button on any repository page.
-
How are updates handled?
Gitea ships as a single binary, so upgrading means downloading the new release, replacing the binary, and restarting the service – the official upgrade path. You have full root access and decide when to apply updates; back up the database before major version jumps.
-
What if I outgrow my configuration?
Upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage of your VPS as your instance grows – no reinstallation needed. For a Git server, watch disk first: repositories, LFS objects, packages, and CI artifacts accumulate faster than CPU or RAM pressure builds.
