> GitLab really started accelerating in 2015 as this commit graph shows
They're using a Github commit graph to show how good Gitlab is? GitLab's graphs aren't as nice? :)

Yes, using prebuilt images is easy. Basically, just add `image: ruby:2.3.1-alpine` to a job, for example. Docs: http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html...
That seems to be referring to using docker images as part of the build process. Im referring to using docker images as the deliverable. I mostly want to just have a gui to do "docker pull x" "docker stop xcon && docker rm xcon" "docker run --name xcon -v /volumes/x/config:/var/www/config -p 8080:80 x" for me. There would technically be nothing to be stored in the gitlab repo here, except the config. Replace the "dock…
Thanks for clarifying. I'm pretty sure you can do everything you want here. You could install a runner on your production box and run those commands within a deploy job.
Two options for configuring the runner:
1: http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html#...

Thanks, this looks like it describes my use case exactly. I'll have to read into this more!

#354I love how responsive our local (departmental) instance of GitLab CE is -- it's downright snappy compared to the corporate instance of JIRA. We love the issue tracking subsystem of GitLab and use it as our main ticketing system. We've done a few talks on Git basics to help increase adoption, and are doing a free webinar "Git Foundations: Basic Concepts and Definitions" next week: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/git-foun…
Wow. The power of HN. We did our webinar today and had attendees from the Netherlands, Germany, Serbia and the US. It was exciting to have an international audience.

If you think about what you're asking: youre asking for folks who build infrastructure you rely on to have no viable way of creating a self sustaining business model. Aka no virtuous circle. No development. This perspective is a classic tragedy of the commons situation and makes perfect sense for you to have as an individual. But it's sad.
There will always be users like me who know how to self host stuff and don't want 3rd parties having access to their repos. But there will always be plenty of people who like to outsource this, have it hosted by 3rd party etc etc. It's the service that is worth the money, not the features. Features have a limited value, they are valuable until an alternative provides it for free (which is the common thing these days)…
I wasn't refering to hosted vs not hosted. I was referring to the virtuous cycle of supporting people by giving them a viable business option who make software (whether FoSS and deployed on local infrastructure or hosted).
Do you believe Linus Torvalds deserves to have a salary? Are you happy he does? I sure am. Do you think that money grows on trees? It comes from people realizing that it's important to contribute to sustain the pieces they rely on. The majority are always free-loaders: I just think it's important to emphasize that if everyone were, the cycle of innovation would slow significantly.

#356We are a company of 10 on GitLab CE (We selfhost via the Cloudron). Costs us ~60 a month, so it's already cheap for us. We also have a bunch of other apps on it which saves us more money.
