What is Codebahn?

Codebahn is a fast and private GitHub alternative offering managed Git and CI on EU-only infrastructure. It provides repositories, CI pipelines, issue tracking, a container registry, an open-source CLI, and an MCP server for AI coding agents. Three interfaces serve different workflows: a web UI, a terminal CLI, and an MCP server that lets AI agents interact with the forge directly, averaging 128ms per tool call.

Pricing is per-seat. Solo costs €9/month for individual developers and includes 200 CI minutes. Crew costs €9/seat plus €10/month for the team, with 1,000 CI minutes per seat pooled across the organization. Builds pause when minutes run out rather than incurring overage charges. Additional minutes are available as fixed-price top-ups at €9 per 1,000 minutes. Storage beyond the plan allowance is billed at a flat per-GiB rate.

The platform runs on a maintained fork of Forgejo, an open-source forge licensed under GPL-3.0. The fork adds billing, ephemeral CI provisioning on tenant-isolated EU runners, multi-tenant isolation, and safety-first defaults. The underlying code is publicly auditable.

Codebahn is operated by Hackerman AB, a Swedish company. All infrastructure runs in the EU: compute and storage on Scaleway (France), backups on Hetzner (Germany), payments via Mollie (Netherlands). Every sub-processor is EU-incorporated. No US entity sits anywhere in the data path. There is no AI training pipeline, no telemetry on authenticated pages, and no third-party tracking. Every repository is private by design, enforced in code.

Data is portable. Users can perform a one-click export in standard format at any time, with no exit fee. After cancellation, a 30-day read-only window allows retrieval of all data. Codebahn has been running since June 2026 with paying customers. It is designed for commercial and closed-source work; there is no free tier and no public repositories.
