Is there a RSS feed for Gitlab (Community) releases? I found the releases page here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/releases But /rss or /atom (or .atom like GitHub does) do not have the feed.

This is a feed for our monthly release posts: https://about.gitlab.com/releases.xml

Thank you!

GitLab team member here. One thing that stood out to me in this release is the strength of contributions from the wider GitLab community. Among the 299 community contributions in this release: - GPU and smart scheduling support for GitLab Runner [1] - The ability to follow other GitLab users [2] - 1 line installer for the GitLab Kubernetes Agent [3] - An activity filter on Vulnerability Reports [4] 1 - https://about.…

Awesome, the issue from last Friday with npm really screwed up our own release.

Awesome! A small thing I'd love to see - the ability to collapse all files in a merge request. Right now the only option is to expand all. We have a lot of generated test files and it nearly crashes the browser when they're all open. Right now I have to collapse each one individually, sometimes dozens of files.

Mark them linguist-generated in .gitattributes. GitLab will show them as changed but not show the diff.

I'd like to note that this is just a tip for the guy I replied to, not a dismissal of the request. GitLab still needs that button.

Between Gitlab,Gitea and bare-git repos, which one should I use for personal (1-man) projects? Here are my thoughts: Gitlab is resource-hungry but provides CI solutions and is kind of a setup-once-then-forget solution. Gitea is light weight but for any additional functionality third-party utilities are needed.

This very release features a new mode [0] with reduced memory consumption. It probably still gets undercut by Gogs/Gitea, but it may be enough to run GitLab on a cheaper VPS tier than before. [0] https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2021/02/22/gitlab-13-9-rel...

I think this is aiming at 2GB Memory Tier. For majority of VPS that means they could move from $20/month to $10/month.

The problem is most popular Cloud/VPS ( DO, Linode, Vultr, UpCloud ) this tier gets you 1 vCPU only. Not sure how well this will work. Will have to test this.

Or as others have mentioned, just use Gitlab.com

I don't have an answer for you but your question made me think; "why can't other gitlab alternatives use their gitlab runner?" That shouldn't be hard to do, make a gitea that can use gitlab runners, right? It must be an open protocol.

interesting thought, isn't gitlab-ci-runner only pulling jobs to be executed and then pushes back logs? shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Exactly, it polls the Gitlab API for jobs, runs the jobs and sends back logs.

Any gitlab alternative could implement this and make each other re-invent a lot less code, while implementing Gitlab-like CI.

Running my own git remotes and infra is my personal project ;)

Godspeed! I tried deploying gitlab on my k8s cluster at home and ran screaming after an hour or so haha

Ah, yeah. I can’t be bothered with that either. I just run omnibus on a completely separate VM.
