+# Gitea Server
+
+Create an EC2 instance with Gitea installed, and a CloudFront distribution for
+encrypted access to the web ui from the browser. The output from the template
+provides the CloudFront URL.
+
+As a prerequisite, you need to create a plaintext secret in Secrets Manager to
+store your password for a Gitea user called 'admin1' that will be created by the
+user data script. The default name for the secret is 'gitea-password'.
