Forgejo-based Git hosting with free private repositories, built-in CI on amd64 and arm64 runners, package registries and preview environments, no paywalled features.
Swiss-run public Git hosting on Forgejo with free private repos, CI, package registries and pages, all hosted in Germany.
CodeFloe is a public Git hosting service built on Forgejo that gives every account the full feature set for free. Private repositories, CI, package registries and hosted pages are all included, and the project's promise is simple: no feature sits behind a paywall, only extra resources ever will.
Under the hood it runs a lightly patched Forgejo fork with Crow CI for pipelines, offering shared amd64 and arm64 runners with up to 4 CPUs and 7 GB of memory per job. Everything that keeps the platform running, from Ansible playbooks and OpenTofu modules to Kubernetes manifests and monitoring configs, is published in the open so anyone can read how it is operated.
Key benefits:
- Unlimited repositories, public and private, with 5 GB of Git storage per account
- Built-in CI/CD on shared runners without a separate sign-up or approval queue
- Package and container registries with their own 5 GB quota
- Preview environments spun up for pull requests
- Hosted pages for static sites straight from a repository
- One-click migration from GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, plus a batch migration CLI
- Readable infrastructure with every playbook, module and pipeline public
CodeFloe is operated by devXY GmbH, registered in Baar, canton of Zug, Switzerland, and runs on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany under German data protection law and the GDPR. It follows a minimum-collection policy, with no user tracking and server logs deleted within seven days. The service launched in July 2025 and is currently funded by its founder and community donations.
A good fit for developers and small teams who want Codeberg-style EU hosting but also need private and commercial projects to be first-class citizens.
