I would love to upgrade on my GitLab server, but I haven't been able to build GitLab with the omnibus builder since 8.14. I opened up a ticket but it hasn't garnered a response. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder/issues/...
Edit: more info in the issue you've posted.
Gitlab was really promising for my colleagues and I, but its inability to host git repos on the url root (aka gitrepo.mycompany.com/product.git) without hacking means its a no-go as we're not particularly inclined to redo all our development, deployment, and testing infrastructure. We use git a lot in our organization, including customer-facing stuff, so it would be a large transition. Also stubborn coworkers who don…

Great to hear that. Deploy boards is one of the few features that came from our own vision more than customer requests. So we're very happy to get validation that this is something people need. GitLab 9.1 will have canary deploys and an automatically deploy board to make deployments even better.
Is there an api for users that might want to integrate alternative schedulers for these features? Would be lovely to be able to integrate Nomad somewhat natively.
Also see https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/ "The people that have the most knowledge have to prioritize breadth over depth since only they can add new functionality. Making the functionality more comprehensive requires less coordination than making the initial minimal feature. Shipping functionality that is incomplete to expand the scope sometimes goes against our instincts. However leading the way is needed to allow others to see our path and contribute. So when in doubt, the rule of thumb is breadth over depth, so everyone can contribute."
I've looked at their website. Is Gitlab basically a self hosted Github and Heroku style (app containers) like product?

One thing that we're seeing is that most schedulers are moving towards supporting Kubernetes, which goes a long way in making this work there. Right now we support Kubernetes through Google Container Engine or via Openshift.

They are selling what one might call an "Omakase" experience for the whole SDLC. They call it "Idea to Production".

Why can't you setup a redirect in nginx?
What convinced me to try out gitlab today: "Today with 9.0, we are excited to release Deploy Boards for environments running on Kubernetes. The Environments page of Pipelines now offers a single place to view the current health and deployment status of each environment, displaying the specific status of each pod in the deployment. Developers and other teammates can view the progress and status of a rollout, pod by po…
