| Fact | Gogs | RhodeCode Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| API | A REST API is bundled with every Gogs installation, uses the /api/v1 path prefix, and is described as being in an early stage with endpoints subject to change. | The API uses JSON requests and responses through the instance _admin endpoint, with dedicated authentication tokens recommended for API access. |
| Authentication | Supported external authentication backends include LDAP, SMTP, PAM, and HTTP header. | Supported authentication methods include SAML, OAuth, LDAP, Active Directory, and third-party providers including Google, Twitter, GitHub, and Bitbucket. |
| Deployment | Gogs can be installed as a binary or run as a Docker container. | The on-premises edition runs behind the firewall and supports Linux platforms; RhodeCode Cloud is a hosted Enterprise Edition instance. |
| Founded | 2014 | 2010 |
| Installation | Gogs can be installed using a pre-built binary or Docker; its site also lists third-party packages. | The open-source rcstack installer deploys the stack with Docker and Docker Compose, and has an offline installation mode. |
| Purpose | Gogs is a simple, stable, extensible self-hosted Git service. | RhodeCode provides unified source code management and collaboration across Mercurial, Git, and Subversion repositories. |
| Security | Webhook deliveries include an HMAC-SHA256 signature that receivers can verify to check that a payload came from the Gogs instance. | Official specifications state LDAP, Active Directory, SAML 2.0, CAS, OAuth and two-factor authentication options, plus immutable audit logs with seven-year retention and SIEM streaming. |
