Eliminate escalating per-seat SaaS costs ($21–$99/user/month on GitHub Enterprise or GitLab SaaS), protect proprietary intellectual property from third-party AI training ingestion, and achieve total source code sovereignty.
We design, deploy, and harden a turnkey, self-hosted Git platform powered by Forgejo and containerized CI/CD build runners running on CentOS Stream 10. The resulting environment provides a frictionless GitHub/GitLab-compatible developer experience with enterprise-grade isolation, automated pipeline execution, and zero recurring software licensing fees.

Architecture & Safety Invariants

Zero Per-Seat SaaS Tax: Host unlimited developers, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines without recurring license charges.
Total Intellectual Property Privacy: Keep proprietary algorithms, source code, and secrets strictly within your private network boundaries.
Lightweight & High-Performance: Compiled Go engine using a fraction of the memory and compute required by monolithic GitLab or Java alternatives.
Hardened Security Posture: Production deployment hardened with strict SELinux Enforcing policies, rootless Podman containers, and automated TLS.

Tangible Engineering Deliverables

Production Forgejo Instance on CentOS Stream 10: Declarative systemd Quadlet deployment with rootless Podman, tuned PostgreSQL backend, and Caddy TLS 1.3 reverse proxy.
Dedicated Act Runner Fleet: Containerized CI/CD build runner cluster supporting standard GitHub Actions workflows with local build dependency caching.
Enterprise Identity & Branch Governance: Corporate SSO/LDAP integration, strict branch protection rules, and mandatory GPG/SSH commit signature verification.
Automated Encrypted Backup Pipeline: Daily coordinated backup scripts syncing PostgreSQL dumps, Git repos, and LFS objects to off-site S3 storage.
Platform Administration Runbook: Step-by-step documentation for runner scaling, version upgrades, and verified disaster recovery restoration.
