We are dealing with a lot of sensitive data and code which is legally not allowed to physically leave our group and GitLab is in my opinion the best open source

We are dealing with a lot of sensitive data and code which is legally not allowed to physically leave our group and GitLab is in my opinion the best open source choice for that. I feel its community edition is up to par with github in most aspects and it a was a change towards the better from our previous svn based solution (Redmine)

  I was unaware of this. Thanks for the link. It seems just about everything is being re-written in Go these days...

    Go is easier to deploy than Rubby on Fails.

      Does that even matter in the world of Docker?
      - bovermyer 11y ago
        Yes, because not everyone uses Docker yet. Some may never adopt it. So long as that remains a viable path, then the matter of deployment systems and complexity is relevant.

      Unless you are smart enough to be a Rubyist. If you're not you just seem like someone who came to the NodeJS Party late and didn't understand Go is C for gigantic codebases using parallelism. :D

  It's a bit of a pity that they don't self host, even if they also have a Github repo.
- kzrdude 11y ago
  I wonder why they advertise the "platform"/implementation language so clearly (in this case Go). It shouldn't matter for the users? I get sceptical, as if the only reason they exist is to provide the same service but in a new implementation.

    Performance. That thing is _fast_ when compared to a Ruby-based stack.
    - Ellahn 11y ago
      Does this really affect end users? In the end, this decision should mostly mean less servers, no...?

        Sysadmins are people too :)

  I've been using Gogs for personal use for a while. I love its speed and its simplicity. That said, it's probably not a good fit for most businesses at this point. It's relatively new, and mostly maintained by a single developer, who spent the last summer on vacation. He's very active when he's around, and almost always working on improving Gogs, but there's a lot of people with features requests (the issue that's always getting comments today is for opening pull requests across branches within a single repository -- i.e. not forking.)

There's also Stash (now renamed to BitBucket Server (edit: fixed name, as pointed out in the reply)). It does not include some of the features (such as issue tracking), and I think rightly so. I haven't used GitLab for maybe 2 years now, so I can't compare the two.

  It's named bitbucket server or something like that - don't confuse it with bitbucket proper.
- johnmaguire2013 11y ago
  To be clear, it doesn't support issue tracking because it is an Atlassian project. Issue tracking is done through Jira, another product they offer.
  - nate148 11y ago
    Umm no, you are incorrect. Bitbucket does have its own issue tracker like GitHub.. (but it is not turned on by default) and what I am referring to is NOT JIRA Software. https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/enable-an-issue-tracker-223216498.html https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/enable-an-issue-t...

      That looks to be for Bitbucket Cloud. We were discussing Bitbucket Server, the hosted solution.
