$39/user/year is indeed affordable for small teams. I'm using bitbucket and github these days. Now if gitlab can run on smaller VPS instances I will be totally sold. That is, if I'm a small team, why do I need 2GB-memory etc to run gitlab? which costs more monthly, how about 512MB memory with one-core for a small team? Can it be optimized further?
- ausjke 11y agoAs a comparison, for Gogs(which I never tried) the system requirements are: 1. A cheap Raspberry Pi is powerful enough for basic functionality. 2. 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM would be the baseline for teamwork. Being a C programmer working with bare metals sometimes, 512MB memory is a lot for me already.
- pfg 11y agoVPS plans with 2GB RAM are available at around the same price point as one GitLab EE license. GitLab has a lot of dependencies, many components and is written in a language and using a framework that's not so much optimized for performance and low memory usage, but rather developer productivity. It would be a lot of effort for not all that much of a benefit. You might want to give https://gogs.io/ https://gogs.io/ a shot if you're looking for a solution that works on smaller systems.
