Can Gogs run on a Raspberry Pi?
Yes. The project says a Raspberry Pi or a $5 droplet is more than enough to get started, and its homepage claims it works on 64 MiB of RAM. Release binaries cover 64-bit ARM Linux.

Common questions
How do I run Gogs in Docker?
Create a data volume, then run the gogs/gogs:next-latest image with that volume at /data, the web port 3000 and an SSH port published. Copy an app.ini config into the volume before the first start. The docker-next README lists the exact commands, including the chown step for the config folder.
How do I upgrade Gogs?
One minor version at a time. The project only keeps backwards compatibility across a single minor version, so jumping from 0.12.4 straight to 0.14.0 is not supported. With Docker, pull the new image, stop and remove the container, then recreate it with the same volume and ports.
