Codey is Live: New Features & Lock In Your Price Until April 30th

When we quietly put Codey – European Code Collaboration Platform online a few months ago, we weren’t ready to make a big deal of it. We had early customers, a working service, and a soft launch page on vshn.ch but no fanfare. That changes today.

Codey now has a proper home at codey.ch, and with it comes a real launch: new features on the roadmap, a cleaner onboarding experience through the Servala portal, and a pricing offer worth paying attention to.

What Is Codey, For Those Who Missed the Soft Launch

Codey is VSHN’s managed Forgejo platform. You get your own dedicated, isolated Forgejo instance – not a shared multi-tenant setup – hosted on European cloud infrastructure, fully managed by us. That means updates, backups, monitoring, and security patches are handled. Your team just uses it.

Forgejo itself is a community-driven, 100% free software Git forge, governed by the non-profit Codeberg e.V. It covers everything a development team needs: Git hosting, pull requests, CI/CD via Forgejo Actions (compatible with GitHub Actions workflows), package hosting, Kanban boards, issue tracking, and more – with no feature gating behind an enterprise tier.

Codey adds Renovate integration on top, keeps your instance on the latest stable release, and handles the operational overhead you’d rather not think about.

What’s New

Two features have been on top of our customer wishlist and are now on their way:

• SSH access – until now, Git operations over HTTPS with personal access tokens was the supported workflow. SSH support is coming, so you can add your public keys and work the way you’re used to.
• Self-service via the Servala portal – Codey instances are ordered through Servala, VSHN’s Sovereign App Store. We’re expanding what you can manage yourself directly in the portal, so you don’t need to go through us for routine changes to sizing, storage, or Forgejo configurations of your instance

For existing customers, we’ll be in touch individually to coordinate the migration to the new infrastructure that enables these features.

Lock In Your Price – Until April 30th

We’re introducing updated pricing alongside the new platform. But here’s the deal: if you’re already a Codey customer, or if you order or upgrade before April 30th, 2026, your current plan price is locked in permanently. Whatever we charge going forward, your rate doesn’t change – ever.

It’s our way of rewarding early adopters and giving anyone on the fence a concrete reason to decide now.

Why We Built Codey

GitHub and GitLab are excellent platforms run by large corporations with their own pricing roadmaps, data handling policies, and strategic interests. For many teams that’s fine. For teams who care about data sovereignty, vendor independence, or just want their code to stay in Europe on infrastructure they can trust – the choice looks different.

Codey is built on free software with no enterprise paywall. Every Forgejo feature is available to every customer. And because it’s Forgejo, there’s no lock-in: you can export everything and self-host at any time if you ever want to.

We’ve been running open-source infrastructure for over 10 years at VSHN. Codey is what we’re using to develop portal.servala.com ourselves.
