Yep, but we only noticed it on Dec 21.

Great, but that's very different to your original statement of "GitHub Pages was limited about 3 days go".

True, that was wrong, it should have said we learned of it 3 days ago.

Hi sytes. Thanks so much for this. I was active on the thread trying to get it added to CE, and it makes a big difference. One thing GL is still missing in its licensing model is a good story for my usecase. I run a GL install that's open to the public so users can report bugs in my software, but there are only 2 real "internal" users. I picked up 50 "users" last month, who just made an issue or two and drove away. T…

It sounds like your issues should be hosted on gitlab.com. I bet you can mirror your repos to gitlab.com and just use it for issues.

Edit: GitLab even has a setting that lets you seamlessly integrate an external issue tracker. [0]

This also seems to be a direct result of GitHub's move to limiting GitHub Pages [1] Good work, and keep it up GitLab Team! Lovely product, and well designed. [1] - https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-github-pages/#usage...

Ironic tho, isn't it?

Github limits are for big high traffic pages, and you open the door for smaller projects/orgs.

Obviously a good thing. Just odd the the GH decision aimed at a different segment of the market provoked this.

In any case, kudos.

Just to clarify, our pricing [0] is per year. So the cost for 50 users is $1950 a year, $162,50 a month for Enterprise Edition starter. We have been thinking about a model that would allow us a more smooth ramp from CE to EE, hence the change to EE starter and Premium. However, this doesn't mean certain attractive features might still land in paid tiers. I'd love to get more feedback on this. [0]: https://about.gitla…

Right, but your licensing is per user per year. I add 50 NEW users in a month. Each of them use the product for about 20 minutes, but I believe I would need to license them for an entire year.

The primary reason I moved things off GitHub was to self-host. If I wanted someone else to host it I would probably go back to GitHub.

I cannot speak about the licensing, but I can suggest you an alternative: host CE for public access and mirror your repositories there, and have your EE version for internal use only.

If you disable the accounts of users they no longer count towards your license. So you could consider deactivating accounts that have been inactive for more than a month. Anyway, feel free to get in touch with sales@ our domain to discuss the options.

Participate in an Interview on Experience with Different Git Tools

My name is Angela and I do researches on the user experience for different Git tools on the market. I’m kicking off a round of discussions with people who use Git tools. Ideally, I’d like to talk to people that sit on a team of 3 or more. If this is you, I would love to talk to you about your experience with Git tools, or just some of the pain points that are keeping you up at night when doing your jobs.



I’ll just need 30 mins of your time, and as a token of my thanks to those that participate, I’d like to offer a US$50 Amazon gift voucher. 


If you’re interested, just shoot me an email with your availability over the next few weeks and we can set up a time to chat for 30 minutes. Please also include your timezone so we can schedule a suitable time (as I’m located in San Francisco). Hope to talk to you soon!

Cheers,

I was looking for this feature a couple of days ago and saw it was in the EE. Which sucked for me and my tiny community- so I'm super pleased to hear this. One of the things I'm not sure about though, is how does gitlab handle the domain per user? Do I delegate DNS to the gitlab instance itself or something?
