Easily the biggest change for GitLab to date. CI is now built-in and it's all easier on the eyes.
We also removed the satellites, on which we used to do certain git operations. This frees up space, but also makes merges must more stable and faster.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments.
- leejo 11y agoWith this release is it necessary to migrate to the built in CI or can we still point at a different gitlab-CI server? We have gitlab running privately in a VPC on AWS but have gitlab-CI running locally (dedicated local server for the manager and runners) so, essentially, merging the two isn't going to be trivial.
- jobvandervoort 11y agoNo. We wouldn't be able to support and keep development going while supporting two different CI apps. Only the coordinator moves, so in theory you'd be able to use the same runners. It's not a trivial migration, we know. That is why we do this with a major release. We're also continuously improving the documentation for this migration. Our customers can reach out for online support, of course.
- leejo 11y agoUnderstandable, thanks! Not sure when we will be updating, but will be in touch should we have any tricky issues migrating.
- jobvandervoort 11y agoGreat. Consider sending your upgrade plan ahead of time if there is anything tricky. We're happy to check it.
- myko 11y agoThis looks awesome! I've been playing with it today and have setup a docker instance for doing Android builds on the same (Linux) machine that I've installed Gitlab on. I'm having trouble setting up Xcode/iOS builds on a Mac Mini over ssh and I don't see any specific documentation on that. Is that something you can point me to?
