I ran a GitLab instance with @cjd for a few years, it was the first instance with public repos thanks to cjd. It was a pain back then and I can't imagine it now that they have a separate commercial edition.

@dansup @cjd I’ve been running and maintaining the Omnibus edition with no hassle whatsoever for Ind.ie. You can easily install/update via apt on Debian-based systems. In case it helps, here’s the relevant bits from an automated server install script that I use for one of the servers for Better Blocker:

(Since it’s so easy, I use GitLab-based servers as part of the build process and also to serve tracker block list data from the iOS/Mac apps.)

@dansup it feels like your being unfairly harsh on Gitlab because (guessing) your next ActivityPub project is going to be a federated code platform.

@kudos Not at all, I mention this because I keep getting asked when I'm moving away from Github. GitLab can get acquired too. My next project has nothing to do with git.

@kudos @dansup Actually, federation is one of the features I keep hoping for in GitLab, so I'm all for anyone doing that. A centralised front-end for a distributed system makes little sense to me.

There was an issue open about that, but I think it got stalled at some point... 🤔

@jjatria @dansup I would love for it to becone federated too, and it's conceivable that the community could make it happen at some stage. Gitlab are good enough stewards currently that a fork would have no momentum. GitHub on the other hand is entirely proprietary.

@dansup yup. Did the same.
I know some people who run it professionally and it’s still a massive pain to operate. Better them than me though 😜
