I'm glad to hear my answer was helpful. Saml support should be pretty good, it was contributed by CERN and they use it in production. Please see http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/integration/saml.html for documentation. If you encounter a bug please create an issue on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues We will try to reduce memory usage by something like 20% in the coming year.

Info on the Raspberry Pi 2 distribution is here, if anyone else is interested: (installation instructions) https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/#raspberrypi2 (original blog post) https://about.gitlab.com/2015/04/21/gitlab-on-raspberry-pi-2...

Thanks for adding the links!

It's really nice to see you plug Gogs like that :) I'm a massive fan of both! They fill different niches I think. You're always super helpful here on HN, too, and I just wanted to let you know that I (and I'm sure others here) appreciate it!

Thanks! I agree they fill a different niche.

Thanks for building Gitlab! I'm from Germany and worked at Fraunhofer where Gitlab was used extensively for in-house dev. The first thing I did after joining a small startup was to install gitlab using docker - it is literally faster than setting up a new github account. I also use gitlab's nginx configuration combined with cipherli.st ciphers as a template because it uses best practices. Only one question: We want t…

We don't have a Django specific example. Our general quickstart is in http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/quick_start/README.html and an example for PHP is given in http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/languages/php.html The file we use to test GitLab itself (a Rails app) can be found on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/.gitlab-... With the rest of the community we're working on more tutorials, I heard one about iO…

Thanks, the links are pretty helpful - I will try to bend some of the scripts for our needs and maybe contribute a "Testing Python projects" section. Hopefully we can replace TeamCity soon, I'm a big fan of open source and therefore your company ethos. - cheers

I'm a rails guy and have run a consulting shop based on rails. But Im actually a bit surprised (and impressed) that you distribute a self-installed piece of software based on Rails (yes I have seen Omnibus and all the cool things you do. As I said very, very impressive!)

I have personally lost many a "enterprise" contract because of the Ruby thing. Not just that, but at the end of the day Java is very performant with least deployment effort .

Which is why we became a JRuby shop first (and packaged JAR for distribution) and eventually to Spring Boot and Scala.

I understand the value of Rails (my current startup is also built on that) - but I'm wondering if it makes sense for you guys to bite the bullet and jump to the JVM.

Thanks for jumping in to the thread. I'd really like GitLab to succeed simply because I like the results of healthy competition. So can I name a couple of things that are standing in its way? 1. gitlab.com site search is effectively down. A simple keyword search, e.g. for 'omniauth' takes 45 seconds: https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=omniauth&gro... I periodically find other site links which are surpris…

1. Our Elastic Search import is scheduled to be complete on Thursday. This should be a dramatic improvement http://i.imgur.com/HRawCIC.png 2. GitLab is an OAuth 2.0 provider, for the docs see http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/integration/oauth_provider.html I see that there is https://github.com/linchus/omniauth-gitlab updated 5 months ago, did you try that one?

Isn't the Elasticsearch feature just for EE? Or are you planning to release it for CE too? I just upgraded to 8.4.4 and didn't see any of it (not that I look so well).

GitLab CEO here. Awesome to see this article! Ask me anything.

Hi,

Thanks for participating in the community discussions.

I have a question/comment in terms of the UI that GitLab provides for developers.

Are there any plans to add a customizable dashboard for gitlab? Think social media sites like twitter/fb/g+. They all have notification numbers over the icons signalling the amount of new emails/messages etc.. gitlab needs the option to add these to the sidepanel!

It would be so darn useful to have say, 5 extra icon counters for whatever project/merge request search filters one is currently using.

e.g. 2 extra sidepanel contexts showing

- big red '5' counter on icon for merge requests with author bob, on project xyz. Because bob made 5 comments on merge requests on project xyz

- big red '2' counter on icon for merge requests with author karen, bob or steve on project abc. ditto as above.

I think extra 'tweakability' features like this for Gitlab's UI would make it easier to manage complex development environments where its necessary to keep an eye on many different scopes around a project. and have the abliity to evolve the dashboard's info display over the projects lifetime as 'hotspots' of attention need to be shifted around to different service codebases and team members.

thanks again

Why the downvotes ? Rails is a PITA to install, Docker might change that but I've spent too much time fighting rvm, rbenv, old gems
