Gitea on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Gitea is a lightweight self-hosted Git service: repositories, pull requests, issues, and CI integration under your own control. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

What's included

Gitea 1.22.6 installed from the official upstream source
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with automatic security updates enabled
No shared or default passwords — a unique admin credential is generated on your VM at first boot
Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 3000 (web UI) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Open http://<VM-IP>:3000/ and sign in as dcaadmin (see First login below).
Create your first organization and repository; push over HTTPS on :3000 or over SSH on port 22.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/gitea/admin-password

Sign in as dcaadmin (site administrator). Self-registration is disabled in app.ini; create users from Site Administration.

Common use cases

Private Git hosting in your own subscription
Code review with pull requests and issues
Team collaboration without SaaS lock-in
Mirroring and backup of external repos

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
