What can we improve in GitLab to make it better? Did the install take too long? Did you try our Omnibus packages or a source install?

I've tried and failed three times to get Gitlab to send me a sign-up email. I can't get it to work. I can't figure out how to disable the confirmation emails either. I'd be using a self-hosted Gitlab to try to fix the speed issues but because of this issue, I cannot.

If you're self-hosting, I would use mailgun with the below config in your /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

Yes. Digging up dependencies is the worst. Managing another fucking build tool is the worst. To be honest, anything short of clicking a thing is the worst. Because there's no reason it can't be as simple as clicking a thing.

I've always believed that 100% of all dependencies should be included in projects. Whether that is raw source code, amalgamated source code, static libs, or dynamic libs I don't care. Give to me the things I need to run and/or build your project. Don't make me hunt shit down.

Kudos on the polished project release. I am relatively new to go, and I am curious about the technology stack behind such a webapp. How does it work under the hood? - How do you develop such web apps with html, css, javascript, go, etc. all interacting with each other? - How are static assets packaged in a single binary? - Any simple tutorial or stack walkthrough you would recommend me reading? thanks!

- As it happens, this is also on the front page: https://astaxie.gitbooks.io/build-web-application-with-golan...

- I also recommend going through Go's example wiki tutorial: https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/

- By default, Go binaries are statically linked. If by static assets you mean CSS, JS, etc., those are usually just deployed alongside the binary.

It's mostly a result of trying to avoid duplication. It's a non-issue for a server running one service but quite relevant on, for example, a dev workstation with dozens of projects or for smaller tools – imagine if every system command brought it's own dependencies.

But the trend seems to go towards sacrificing disk space for isolation, i. e. NPM which makes it more or less impossible to use a system-wide 'node_modules'.

Thanks for the feedback. Aroch posted a good Mailgun config in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11374883 but your post gave me the idea to disable confirmation emails by default https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14684

I'm not sure what is up with the initial commit issue you describe and made an issue to investigate https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14685

Thanks again!

We downloaded and installed Gogs, Gitlab, and Bitbucket. I liked Gogs the best, but Gitlab seemed more enterprise-y, and Bitbucket had an issue we could never figure out. We're trying to replace TFS, so we'll probably end up with Gitlab. But since I was the one doing the installing, I sure wish we'd go with Gogs. It was 5 minutes from start to finish.

The things I miss the most using Gitlab vs github are the instantaneous merges and the syntax highlighting within diffs when reviewing a MR. I'm on an old-ish version of gitlab though and it's running on a single VPS.

A lot of Java software is "(1) download the jar file, (2) java -jar thefile.jar". Agree it's good for the user, but when people talk about distributing a statically-linked program the "what about security updates" question invariably comes up.

It is still easier with static compiles if you ask me: "Make sure you're running Gogs 1.64.2 or above" "Make sure you're running Gogs 1.64.2, OpenSSL 1.2e, libcrypt 3.73, leftpad 2.0..." Especially when the deployment of said binaries doesn't involve anything installed on the host OS.

"Make sure you run Foo 1.7, Bar 2.1, Baz 2.3, ..."

"Make sure you update to OpenSSL 1.2e and restart all services."

If you think of more than one program using the same module, shared libraries make a lot of sense.

What issue did you have with Bitbucket, if you don't mind my asking? :)

When viewing merge history, we got a generic modal error. I opened a bug with Atlassian, but we never got it resolved. Their first response wasn't the solution and I had limited time/energy to devote on debugging it.

Gitbucket [1] a git hosting system built in scala is as simple as typing "java -jar gitbucket.war" [1] https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket

40MB download + requirement of Java Runtime (~100MB) to be present is not quite same. Though to their credit they have packaged all jar dependencies besides JRE in WEB-INF/lib

I tried installing the omnibus and from source. Both times I could not get it completely working. On CentOS 5.3 x64. I eventually got everything but git commits working over ssh, but I quit trying to get that working after it looked like I had to give up port 22.

I was just installing installing for evaluation and hopefully our sys admins will do the final install.

Gogs was just 'install Go', 'run binary', 'link to database/git ssh user' done.
