Overview
GitBucket 4.45.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 is provided with free maintenance support by kCloudHubs. This optional support offers peace of mind, making you feel valued and confident in your deployment. The solution is optimised for deployment on the AWS Cloud Marketplace, making it easy to launch, manage, and scale on AWS infrastructure.
What GitBucket Is
GitBucket is a lightweight, self-hosted Git repository management platform written in Scala and built to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It provides a familiar, GitHub-style web interface that simplifies collaboration for developers and teams of any size. It is ideal for those seeking a private Git server with minimal complexity and resource requirements.
Core Capabilities
GitBucket provides everything you expect from a modern Git platform, including repository hosting, web-based code browsing, pull requests, and issue tracking. The interface is intuitive and straightforward, so developers can focus on writing and reviewing code instead of managing infrastructure. It supports plugin-based extensions, allowing you to add features as your needs grow.
Supported Runtime
This deployment supports JDK 17.0.17, ensuring long-term stability, security updates, and firm performance on Ubuntu 24.04.
Comparison with Other Self-Hosted Git Platforms
GitBucket is often compared with other self-hosted Git solutions such as Gitea and GitLab CE. All three offer core source code management, web based repositories, and issue tracking, and they can be deployed on self-managed Ubuntu instances with optional support plans.
Main Differences
GitBucket stands out for its minimal footprint and fast setup, making it ideal for teams that want a simple, private Git server without extra overhead. Gitea, written in Go, focuses on ultra-low resource usage and streamlined updates. GitLab CE delivers a complete DevOps platform with built-in CI/CD and container registry features, but it requires more system resources to run effectively.
