What is gogs?

A self-hosted Backend-as-a-Service — Firebase/Supabase alternative with built-in Auth, DB, Storage, Realtime, and Functions.

Main components

• User dashboard, user profile and activity timeline.
• Access repositories via SSH, HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
• User, organization and repository management.
• Repository and organization webhooks, including Slack, Discord and Dingtalk.
• Repository Git hooks, deploy keys and Git LFS.
• Repository issues, pull requests, wiki, protected branches and collaboration.
• Migrate and mirror repositories with wiki from other code hosts.
• Web editor for quick editing repository files and wiki.

The biggest strength is ~10% the cost of commercial BaaS for medium-sized projects.

Best for indie hackers, startups, agencies shipping fast without Firebase costs at scale.
