Are there open-source alternatives apart from Gitlab that anyone can recommend? I must say that Meat looks very good.
Gogs is interesting but it doesn't have a full pull request workflow built in. It runs on super small hw requirements which makes it nice if you just want to use it for yourself.
Looks pretty nice. I've been using/administering GitLab for our company, but I've always found it a bit heavy for our needs. I might give this a shot and see how it is.
GitLab CEO here, I would love to know what kind of heavy is the problem you're experiencing, hard to setup? hard to upgrade? cpu/ram/disk usage? too many features?
This is non-free, actually. What's the point of self-hosting proprietary software?
Open-source is not just about the product's source being visible. They would need people to review patches, venues to interact with contributors, a policy to publicize future features to avoid clashing with contributors' work…

How do people find and respond to any mention of their company on HN? I get why you'd want to, it's fantastic PR to seem/be so engaged with your users, but where do you find the time? Is there some monitoring service that notifies you whenever any keyword is mentioned on social media?

Maybe you don't want another company to be able to look at your IP. Or maybe you want or need to hold yourself to a higher security standard then hosted alternatives. If your code is hosted with a third party out on the Internet, your own service now is only as secure as that third parties.
It's just weird to combine "free" with "proprietary" in a self-hosted context. If it's free and self-hosted, why are they not allowing access to the source? Considering the possibility of your IP being leaked by a proprietary program on your server, maybe that higher security standard should include an open requirement.
huge turn off for vegans...

1) This thread is about a kinda-competitor to GitLab, so maybe he was just here reading it.
2) There are monitoring services like: https://zapier.com/zapbook/zaps/675/post-message-slack-when-...

Add it on a decent reader, filter for the word "GitLab", and you're done.
