Digital Ocean recommends running GitLab on their $10/month instance, so while I haven't tried it, the $5 one is probably still up to the task: https://www.digitalocean.com/features/one-click-apps/gitlab/ (Full disclosure: I'm a developer at GitLab B.V.)
If you're going for the 512MB please read the requirements https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst... (make sure to set up swap and use ssh access)
> 512MB RAM + 1.5GB of swap is the absolute minimum
I use Gogs on my Synology NAS for personal use and I love it. Mostly because it's so easy to setup and deploy - cross-compiling the binary for ARM was simple, after that it was just a matter of SCPing it to the NAS itself. It's not as feature rich as other options, but it does it's job well.
I would be interested by a more in-depth how-to too.
Synology has also just announced Docker support on DSM 5.2 beta [1], so we could also run Gogs as a docker image :)
I can't believe you convinced me to click on that link. Could you introduce more paragraphs and/or bullet points and then get back to me?
It has more paragraphs than meets the eye, but for some reason the middle chunk of the article stops double-spacing and starts doing (very small!) indents for paragraphs instead. Some sort of formatting issue.
Some really nasty markup. Whatever CMS that's generated by, it's using BRs to simulate paragraphs and isn't doing a very good job of it.
As a potential user I find the information on the technology used to be pretty helpful, actually. It sets up my hopes for an app that is lighter on the resources than the Ruby on Rails based GitLab, with maybe easier installation process as well.
Install of gitlab is pretty easy with the Omnibus install method and manual install is certainly doable. It runs ok here with 1G RAM on an Atom processor.
Everything's doable, but that is not the point. I once had a client - a one person shop kind of deal - who asked me to install a ticketing software on the same account they hosted their website from. They liked Redmine, another RoR app, so I set it up for them and suddenly everything went down, because the CPU and memory usage went above of what their plan offered. They decided it's not beneficial for them to pay for a better plan, so instead we went with a PHP based solution. So yeah, in some cases technology can be as much - if not more - important, as the list of provided features.
Something something good artists, great artists? Personally I feel for pieces of software like this it's fair to more or less clone the user interface. There's a lot of effort built up in understanding how to use this tool. Think of the complaints LibreOffice gets for not looking enough like Word, or GIMP for not looking enough like Photoshop. Plus, Gitlab is already open source, so can you really call it "ripping of…
It's one thing to offer the same UI elements and experience, it's another thing to make it look identical in colors, spacing, fonts, icons, etc... They took it quite far imho.
Can you show some screenshots of what you mean? Gogs[0] looks plenty different from Gitlab[1] in colors, fonts, icons, and spacing. Hardly identical, but both clearly inspired from Github.
What experiences do people have with http://phabricator.org/ ? It's not a GitHub clone but it does seem very complete, possibly replacing Jira and Stash if you're into the Atlassian ecosystem.
I've been working on migrating to using phabricator at my company. The developer workflow is a bit different than that of GitHub/GitLab but it's nothing that should hinder development. Primarily it revolves around using a client-side command/utility called 'arcanist' in order to submit code for reviews. The largest difficulty is working with feature branches which is a newer concept at my company. I have it working w…
I realized I left a dangling sentence:
One of the nicer things about running Phabricator is that it has quite a bit of documentation, and..
..and the install provides really great feedback about how it's running. Server issues are identified and displayed to logged-in administrators, so phabricator actively analyses its status and any reports what actions might need taken. The upgrade process is really smooth as well.
Is it just me, or does it bother anyone that the design seems SO ripped from Github? Github's UI has a lot to be said for it and perhaps emulation is more of a compliment here, but...even the icon font glyphs...
Look-and-feel is famously not copyrightable in the US, and there's a familiar interface brings a lot of benefit to the user.
