Maybe with this they can finally get gitorious.org is migrated to Internet Archive... :/
The Internet Archive people are working on it. They are kinda busy and there is not much we can do at this point.

I have a dozen web apps installed on my personal 512MB droplet and they all work flawlessly.
Are your dozen web apps large, featureful code forge systems?
No, they're not. That said, there is no valid engineering reason why any web app should require more than 512MB of memory to run with minimal user load.
User load is what bumps up the RAM requirements. If the active user count is in the single digits and you're running into problems with RAM, either something is deeply misconfigured on your server, you have a ton of data, or the codebase is poor.

#43So this is a little bit "in the weeds" but with the seed round closing back in July for $1.5 million why such a short turnaround for the series A? Is this normal? Considering it probably takes at least a month to close out a round does that mean GitLab went back out to fund raise only a month after their $1.5 million investment? Not trying to be critical or anything I'm just really curious.
From a macro level:
- Money is dirt cheap right now (and won't be for long)
- Investors who see promise and progress in companies typically like to double-down early and often if they can
Makes total sense.

What if your web app manages a data structure that is simply larger than 512 MB? Like analytics data or something like that.

Why is Travis so bad? Ever tried CircleCI?
> Ever tried CircleCI? I have not. It doesn't look to be open source though, so not self-hostable - my interest stops at that point.
Go.CD maybe? http://www.go.cd/

We are definitely interested as well. - Open-source (check) - Self-hosted (check) - Integrates with GitLab (check) We do run Jenkins currently for some projects, but nobody is really happy with it. Sure, it gets the job done, but not the easiest software to work with.
How are you using Jenkins? I've found that it works well as long as you just have Jenkins call build, test, deploy, package scripts. The advantage being that you can use the same scripts during development.
That's how we do it. EnvInject and shell scripts. But I'm starting to think Jenkins is a bit much to run the equivalent of "HOST=somewhere NODE_ENV=production ./script/deploy" and ping a slack channel

> Also like most people that I've spoken to, we're not interested in gitlab-ci at all Consider me part of the crowd that is very interested. Travis is atrociously bad. Jenkins I've heard some good things about but I have mostly negative experiences with it. Alternatives are needed. And something like gitlab would sorely lack if it didn't have CI integration.
Could you expand on what you hate about Travis? I'm in the process of picking a CI system and haven't found too many negatives about Travis yet.
I've used Travis for 2 years and loved them. YMMV I guess.

Wow, that's a lot of blanket statements. Nevermind the fact that GitLab won't even have a full 512 MB at its disposal in your particular case (the $5 512 MB droplet).
Memory is cheap. GitLab's resource usage doesn't increase much from the baseline as you go from 1 user to 100 users. You just can't run it on a potato.

An empty Rails app is already 100MB+ or memory. GitLab is running the largest open source rails app. Also, since we use Unicorn instead of multithreading we have to spin up multiple Rails apps.

#50Switched a lot of personal projects over to GitLab, and been really happy. I'm very excited to see this. My only complaint is the lack of integrations from the rest of the world. It's pretty hard to find good services that hook into GitLab Note: I'm talking about hooking into gitlab.com not a self hosted instance
We would love to see more support for GitLab.com. Things are moving the right way with https://about.gitlab.com/applications/ , also CodeShip is considering support now as are many others. But we have some way to go, please keep telling the services on Twitter. By the way, what integration would you like to see first?
CodeShip would be awesome, I'd also love to see CodeClimate support. I didn't know about https://about.gitlab.com/applications/, I'll make sure to keep an eye on it
