Frequently Asked Questions

? Is RhodeCode hard to install?

RhodeCode offers straightforward deployment options like Docker containers for quick setup, plus documentation for virtual machines or bare metal. Basic installation is accessible for teams with server admin experience, though advanced configurations (e.g., SSO integration) may need deeper technical knowledge.

? Is it a good alternative to GitHub Enterprise Server?

Yes—RhodeCode supports more version control systems (Git, Mercurial, SVN) than GitHub (only Git). It provides similar collaboration features like code review and access control, with the added benefit of self-hosted data privacy. Enterprise tiers compete with GitHub Enterprise for advanced enterprise needs.

? Is it completely free?

RhodeCode’s Community Edition is open source (AGPLv3) and free to use for teams of any size. However, advanced features like SSO, priority support, and enterprise-grade security are part of paid Enterprise tiers.
