This is not even an article, it is an ad for a company (ungleich.ch) that provides github-like hosting services.

Indeed.

Since their product is "Private Gitlab Hosting", they only seem to provide the hosting. This is not inherently bad, but they make it look like they are much better than Gitlab.

Personally I'd rather give my money to Gitlab so support their development.

I’m not entirely sure why people are freaking out at this point. This is not the Microsoft of the 90s. How many of these folks are happy to use VSCode and then turn around and panic at this acquisition?

Have you _seen_ what Skype has become?

MS may not be dreadful across the board any more, correct, but they absolutely have it in them to wreck a perfectly serviceable product once acquired.

You are right — this MS will instead mine data the hell out of your repositories and spam you (LinkedIn), and that’s only the best scanerio. Of course, they acquire GitHub to upsale Azure and integrate with LinkedIn. They will have a very complete profile of you, as a developer.

On the comparison with GitLab you mention we don't support IPv6. We do if you host your own. We will enable it for GitLab.com once we're done with the migration to GCP [0]. Our pricing is per user, tiered. Not per-user and then per feature. Although I understand that's not far off from each other.[1] [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47216 [1]: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

Question: What is ur LFS pricing for GitLab.com? I see that you mention "Object storage for LFS" on the self-hosted comparison page, but not on the GitLab.com pricing comparison page (https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/self-hosted/feature-compari...).

Hm, I wouldn't migrate my FOSS stuff to ungleich, simply because I don't earn money with it and while I am willing to invest my free time I feel different on throwing money into it. (Company wise I can't make the decision, but I suppose the benefit over our current git-on-NFS + bugzilla + custom distributed, reproducible build system would be negligible, especially given the price for the license).

With that said: What's so much better about ungleich than rolling your own VM somewhere? For a hackathon and as an experiment I recently setup Gitlab on a fresh Arch Linux VM using the Arch gitlab package and setup was very easy. I suppose using the official way of installation makes it even easier. Do you keep the VM, OS and gitlab up-to-date? Do you do backups?

I think that is a very fair point. If you have the time & fun to setup on your own, there is absolutely nothing speaking against it (many of our employees actually run their own services for fun).

In terms of maintenance: we ensure that the system and installation is up-to-date.

We offer offsite backup as an addon, too.

What could anybody need IPv6 on a website for? Users who don’t have IPv4 connectivity or what?

The problem with github (indepently of the recent news) is that it is not reachable from IPv6 only networks. And while you might have seen many of them yet, they are getting more and more the standard in data centers, which makes sense, because running dual stack is more effort and error prone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just out of curiosity why did you decide to use GCP rather than Azure or AWS?

We currently run on Azure. GitLab integrates deeply with Kubernetes and specifically GKE, so it makes sense to run GitLab.com there: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/

That is quite interesting. We are planning to offer IPv6 based kubernetes hosting with transparent reachability by IPv4. Are you interested in talking about that?

Is IPv6 a driver for anyone?

Wifi in my college only supports Ipv6.
