Another Github alternative: http://phabricator.org/ , better than GitLab, even. Self-hosted WebRTC audio/video conferencing: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet
Phabricator has some really neat features, which of those make it better than our GitLab for you?
Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services

Re: Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services
#102"N self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services" is becoming a meme. Here's 43 self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services, with one-click demos you can try yourself! https://apps.sandstorm.io/ Tiny Tiny RSS, Ghost, Gitlab, and Rocket.Chat are in there. ownCloud is missing, but you can try Davros, which is compatible with the ownCloud client apps. https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/8aspz4sfjnp8u89000mh2v1xrdy…
- A web IDE
- A container to run web stuff I'm working on (ie hook it up to the ide through rsync or something)

Its official installer doesn't contain a 3 web servers, 1 CI server and 1 chat server?
The Omnibus packages allow you to quickly install GitLab without having to do a lot of setup. The installation from source is also official, see https://about.gitlab.com/installation/
Re: Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services
#104Although this is a nice write up about a possible setup for self hosted alternatives for popular cloud services, I don't like it. It falls short to compare the different possible services and the possibilities you can have with them. OwnCloud is nice, but why should I pick on OwnCloud and not SeaFile. Ampache is cool, but why not Subsonic? I would like to read the reasoning behind the individual choices OR the reason…
I use ampache, but you are absolutely correct: it is fiddly, and breaks easy. Subsonic also does "just work". I personally like ampache because it's much less resource-intensive on my webserver, and easier to fiddle with (I'm also a java-hater), but Subsonic is much more approachable.

> RocketChat I don't know and I should look into but I do feel that XMPP should be the chat replacement for all Agreed. Given that there are multiple, open source servers, several good open source Web clients and literally hundreds of native libraries/clients, XMPP seems like the obvious choice here. What irks me even more - Rocket Chats homepage: > Native client applications available for download on Linux, Windows…
I don't get this. Why does the language it's written in make it "not native"? Firefox is pretty "native", yet practically all of the UI is powered by JS. Hell some of the built in programs in windows 10 are using html/js/css and if you are going to argue that the built-in "part of the OS" programs aren't native, then what is? If you can see performance issues or problems with how it works then point those out, don't…
Firefox honestly is a terrible choice to defend non-native UI conventions. You might as well have picked Java apps as your argument.

#106You can test-drive the apps in Bitnami for 1h for free (click demo in browser) https://bitnami.com/stack/ghost https://bitnami.com/stack/owncloud https://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab https://bitnami.com/stack/tiny-tiny-rss
At GitLab we see that one-click installers are frequently out of date and might not contain our Omnibus packages. The worst example of these are the Bitnami packages that can't be updated at all. We advise to not use one-click installers but instead start an vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 instance and use the recommended Omnibus package installation. This is almost as quick as a one-click install and you're sure of the latest…

We are working on verifying the upgrade instructions with the new major version recently released.
Happy to address any concerns or issues we missed

Well, that's just the issue. I have no problem with Electron apps as an idea, but they're often coupled with extremely slow rendering. You can tell immediately. For instance, in Slack, which is more or less an Electron app / browser in a box, I can easily get it down to <5 fps just by posting a snippet or going too far in scrollback. Resizing the window is beyond painful, etc., etc. It all seems unbelievably unnecess…
Having a problem with the performance is perfect criticism, but the commenter i was replying to was bashing it because of it's choice, not because of it's performance. He won't even try it before saying that. web rendering doesn't automatically make an app slow. And in my experience choosing a "common" platform like the web allows an app to run everywhere. I'm not suddenly going to be able to triple my development sp…

ownCloud designer here – thanks a lot for the kind words! We’re also about to improve the web interfaces for Calendar and Contacts in coming ownCloud versions. Also, I’m glad you like the Mail app although it’s in a very early stage! If you experience any issues or have feature requests, please let us know at https://github.com/owncloud/mail/issues :)
Is there any way I can set up just the features I want, and disable the rest? I have very briefly looked over how to do this, but haven't found anything.

I nearly went with Syncany, they were a very close second but they are still in alpha, plus they have no mobile apps (yet). I really like being able to take a photo with my phone and have it sync to my computer. Development on Seafile is very active and they are transparent about security issues. I don't think it is poorly written but maybe a third-party audit like Truecrypt did is a good idea. Here's their 'Records…
> Here's their 'Records of security issues' page: https://seacloud.cc/group/3/wiki/security-records/ Just take a look who reported their recent issue allowing a lot of attack vectors. (more than they mentioned though) :) Actually if somebody had a local user account themselves they could bruteforce the secret key in seconds. And SeaFile has additionally modified the default Django components making it more insecure:…
