If you prefer python, Rhodecode is free for up to 20 users https://rhodecode.com/features

Clearly that is not comparable as GitLab is FLOSS.

As far as I understood, RhodeCode’s core is open source (GPLv3) and even the proprietary parts are free for teams up to 20 users.

@2) Maybe in an older version, but not anymore. The installation is not as nice as in a single apt-get call, but the install documentation makes a setup a matter of copy'n'paste.

I love GitLab, and yeah the install isn't hard. But have you ever tried updating it? Impossible as far as I've tried. Breaks stuff every time :(

I upgrade regularly, typically two weeks after release of a new version (except when there are security fixes, like recently).

It could (and should) be more streamlined, I admit, but using diff et al. on the two affected configuration files makes the process fast. One could do it by hand w/o issues, but I wouldn't like it.

Ok, good to know, but core being open ≠ open.
