Your code belongs in Europe.
Managed Git hosting on Forgejo, run entirely in the EU.
We run the servers, updates, backups and security for you, in EU data centres. Your repositories never leave the EU, and your code is never used to train AI models.
Private repositories from €7.50 a month.
Developer: €7.50 a month with yearly billing, or €9 with monthly billing.
We take care of
Not just a European alternative.
European hosting is the reason to choose Vault42 over an equally convenient alternative. It's not the reason people start looking.
Client code under contract
Client contracts increasingly ask where the code lives, and who could be compelled to hand it over. Vault42 will be incorporated in the EU, and your repositories will be hosted there, outside the CLOUD Act's reach.
Let us handle the infrastructure
Someone has to patch the host, watch disk space, test restores and apply upgrades at an inconvenient hour. On Vault42, that will be handled for a fixed monthly price.
Predictable billing
Usage-based CI/CD billing is hard to forecast, and a busy month can mean an invoice nobody budgeted for. Vault42's plans are flat and published, with no per-minute billing on managed runners either.
Professional Git hosting with European values at every layer.
Vault42 is built on open-source technology, hosted in Europe, and designed to keep your code under European rules.
EU jurisdiction
Many US providers offer an "EU region", but the company behind it still answers to US courts. Vault42 will be incorporated in the EU with no US parent company, so your repositories fall under EU law only.
Zero AI data harvesting
We don't use your code to train AI models, and we never will. We don't sell an AI product, so there's no training pipeline pointed at your repositories.
Independently owned
Vault42 is independently owned and run: no venture capital, no acquisition roadmap, and no outside investor with a say over what it builds.
We're open about everything, including our code.
From launch, we'll publish a monthly transparency report with the raw figures for infrastructure changes, uptime, and Forgejo donations.
Built on open-source you can trust.
Vault42 is being built on Forgejo, a community-governed free-software Git platform with no closed-source components. Every line of code powering your repositories can be read, audited, and verified.
Don't want to take our word for it? Forgejo is free and open-source, so you can self-host it today without a Vault42 account and move to us later only if you decide you want to.
Codeberg, one of the largest Forgejo instances, is operated by Codeberg e.V., a non-profit European code host, with over 750,000 projects and 450,000 users as of November 2026. The platform is proven at scale.
The Dutch government runs its own code platform on Forgejo, code.overheid.nl, where government organisations develop and share source code.

Our Forgejo PledgeA small team, two countries
Vault42 is a small team of freelancers working from Czechia and the Netherlands. We build products as an answer to the big tech oligarchy and to enshittification: made for the people who use them, not for investors. Independently owned, with no venture capital and no acquisition roadmap.
A lot of developers, myself included, have had enough of Microsoft, of GitHub, and of trusting American companies with their work. We host git on EU soil, under GDPR, where your code is never scanned to train a model, and where what we say we sell is all that we sell.
A complete git forge.
Vault42 runs standard Forgejo with no proprietary additions.

Push or pull, any git host
Pipelines run on a runner: a managed one from us on any paid plan, or one you host yourself, free on every plan. Ours run in the EU; for a self-hosted runner, build location depends on where you host it.
Vault42 runs unmodified upstream Forgejo. Your repositories run on any Forgejo instance.

Vault42 vs GitHub
| Feature | Vault42 | GitHub |
|---|---|---|
| CI/CD | Forgejo Actions, same workflow syntax | GitHub Actions |
| Package registry | npm, Docker, Maven, PyPI+ | GitHub Packages |
| Jurisdiction | EU only; your code is outside the CLOUD Act and FISA 702 | US, CLOUD Act and FISA 702 |
| Platform source | Open source (Forgejo) | Proprietary |
| Leaving | Runs on any Forgejo | Self-hosting only with GitHub Enterprise Server |
| Build machines | Yours free, or a managed runner on a paid plan | Shared runners |
| AI assistant | None | Copilot |
| Cloud dev environments | None | Codespaces |
| Marketplace | None | Thousands of apps |
| Support | Email on Developer; email and chat on Teams; scheduled calls on Enterprise | Tiered, paid plans only |
Workflow files use GitHub Actions syntax. Actions hosted on GitHub need a full URL, and workflows that call the GitHub API or rely on GitHub-specific context need small changes.
From GitHub to Vault42 in one step
- Repositories, branches, and tags
- Issues, pull requests, and comments
- GitHub Actions-compatible workflow syntax
Move your repositories over, history intact.
Forgejo includes a native GitHub importer for repositories, issues, pull requests and history. Forgejo Actions uses GitHub Actions-compatible workflow syntax. For CI, connect your own runner, or add a managed one on a paid plan.

The restore procedure will be documented and tested regularly, not only written down.
Know when a dependency you use has a published vulnerability
Vault42 will check the dependencies your repositories declare against public vulnerability advisories, and open an issue in the affected repository when it finds one.
Vulnerable dependency: example-package
- Affected
- 2.3.1
- Fixed in
- 2.3.4
- Severity
- High
- Source
- OSV
No new company sees your dependencies
The scan runs on Vault42's own EU infrastructure, the same servers that already host your repositories. Your dependency list isn't sent anywhere else to make this work.
Open data, open tooling
Advisories come from open sources, including OSV and ENISA's European Vulnerability Database (EUVD). The scanning tooling is open source too, so leaving Vault42 doesn't mean losing the check.
A record for the Cyber Resilience Act
Teams increasingly need to show they track known vulnerabilities in what they ship. This isn't a compliance guarantee, just one piece of that record.
Included on every plan, including Open Source. Paid plans add pull requests that update the dependency to a fixed version, for you to review.

Your repositories are hosted in the EU, and you can migrate from GitHub with Forgejo's import tool.
Is my data actually protected from US law?
Vault42 will be incorporated in the EU, with no US parent company. Your repositories will be hosted on EU infrastructure, and no US authority can compel us to hand them over under the CLOUD Act or Section 702 of FISA. A small number of sub-processors work for us outside the hosting layer, payment processing being the main one, and none of them can access your repositories. They are listed on our sub-processor page.
Can I migrate from GitHub?
Forgejo's importer handles this natively. Repositories, issues and pull requests move over intact. Workflows use GitHub Actions-compatible syntax, so most run unchanged; jobs that call the GitHub API or rely on GitHub-specific features need small changes. Run them on a runner you host, or on a managed one from us.
What if I'm not ready to trust Vault42 with my code?
Fair enough, we're new. Forgejo, the platform we're built on, is free and open-source; you can self-host it yourself today, no Vault42 account at all. Move to us later only if you want the hosted convenience.
What if Vault42 shuts down?
Your repositories are standard Forgejo, so there is no proprietary format to escape from. If we ever wind down, we commit to at least 90 days' notice, read-only access for the whole of that period, and a full export of every repository, issue, pull request and wiki in Forgejo's native format. That export imports into any other Forgejo or Gitea instance, including one you run yourself. We'd rather say this now than have you wonder about it later.
Do I need my own build server for CI/CD?
No. Forgejo Actions runs your pipelines on every plan, including Open Source. What you need is a runner for the builds to execute on, and there are two ways to get one. Add a managed runner on any paid plan and we run it for you. Or host it yourself, free on any plan: any spare VPS running the Forgejo runner in Docker will do. The managed option still costs more than a bare VPS: what the difference buys is EU residency you don't have to prove yourself, a single-tenant instance that runs only your builds, and no server for you to patch, monitor or keep alive.
What counts as storage?
Storage covers your Git data, Git LFS objects, packages and release artifacts. CI logs and build caches don't count against it, and workflow artifacts are deleted after 30 days. On Teams, storage is pooled across the organisation, so a five-seat team shares 50GB however it likes.
Is there a limit on downloads?
There's no metered bandwidth. Downloads from public repositories, releases and package registries fall under fair use, which covers what an active open-source project normally sees. If a project's traffic starts to look like a file mirror or a content delivery network, we'll contact you to agree on a solution before limiting it. Illegal content is removed as soon as it is reported.
Can we use our own domain and identity provider?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Each Enterprise customer will get an isolated Forgejo instance in the EU, on its own domain, with sign-in through your identity provider over OpenID Connect or LDAP and connections to tools such as Jira and Artifactory.
