I built a €2/month DevOps stack (Gitea + Jenkins + Nexus)

I’ve been running a homelab for a while and wanted to see how far I could push it.

So I ended up building a small shared DevOps environment with:

  • Gitea (git hosting)
  • Jenkins (CI/CD)
  • Nexus (artifact repository)

I also experimented with hosting small APIs + databases for lightweight projects.

The goal:
Make something cheap and simple for indie developers who don’t want to manage infrastructure.

Pricing is intentionally low (€2–€9/month), since it’s running on my own hardware.

Limitations:

  • Residential connection (not for high traffic)
  • Storage and repo limits
  • Best-effort uptime

Biggest challenges so far:

  • resource isolation
  • preventing abuse
  • storage cleanup policies

Would you trust something like this for small projects?
What would you improve?
