I run GitLab on my development VPS and use it for all my projects (and everything to do with them, including client interaction via the wall and issues). It's quite brilliant. I nearly decided to hack in a Public Mode myself last year, I'm glad it's finally implemented! This has prompted me into getting back to work on my KanBan SPA, that hooks into GitLabs issues api. I do wish they gave the api a bit more love in t…

> My $20/m VPS gives me self-hosted Github, Dropbox, and Gmail/Gcal/Contacts "clones". Not bad! GitLab replaces GitHub, but ... what gives you the dropbox functionality? (alternatives I'm familiar with are sparkeleshare and seafile, but neither works as well as dropbox) what gives you the gmail/gcal/contacts functionality? specifically, do you have good iphone sync?

I use ownCloud!

It has a CalDAV and CardDAV server, works perfectly with the iphone. It also has file sync built in, which replaces Dropbox for me. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What do you use for the webmail/calendaring/contacts?

For webmail I can recommend roundcube + dovecot, for calendaring/contacts davical has all I need.

Yep, roundcube, integrated into ownCloud for CalDAV/CardDAV

I'd love to hear more about the 'Dropbox clone' you're using here. The idea of keeping a VPS around as my own private cloud is something I've been thinking about for a while; I'm very interested to learn from someone who's already done it.

Like I said in reply to someone else, ownCloud works perfectly for me. Syncing apps for Linux and Mac OS X, web access on my tablet, Android client, and I think iphone is either out now or very near. Check it out!

Finally. Resque is such a PITA with Gitlab. Hopefully the upgrade script will work properly now. I have to fix quite a few bits and pieces every upgrade. Top piece of software, though.

Agreed. It was also eating a lot of memory. Upgrade (4.0 -> 4.1) ran smoothly. Only thing that was missing in the upgrade guide was installing a new version of the post-receive hook, but since gitlab:check mentioned that and even provided the command to fix this, it wasn't a problem.

gitlab:check is doing a great job at keeping the insanity of the gitlab pace at bay. I started pre-2.0 and have had to go through some hard upgrade steps (just recently went from 3.1 to 4.1 and had to move sqlite to mysql).
