I quite like GitLab, although I'm using it self hosted on premises for our team. Honestly, it's overkill and I wish Gogs had been more evolved when I initially picked up GitLab. I have not really tried GitLab's hosted offering, I have a couple repos up there, but nothing extensive. Have you considered a VPS with Gogs? It's super lightweight and easier than snot to setup.

It looks pretty nice. In fact, it looks a lot like GitHub. Funny tho that they host their own code on GitHub. Is that just because they don't want to pay for hosting? (That's sensible.)

  Edit: It seems this was about Gogs, not GitLab.

Have you checked our RhodeCode ? It's much more mature that Gogs.

  I really like the mirror feature on Gogs, the Gogs ui, the easy deployment using Docker and that it uses Go so the memory and cpu usage is quite low.

    RhodeCode has the same feature called remote repos. You can create a repo from remote one and that pull changes via a button, or api call. You can even use credentials inside the url which are then encrypted inside the database

      The Gogs mirror updates automatically. I only use it to mirror public Github repos so I have them in case myself, Github or the project goes offline.

  That's cool, I hadn't seen RhodeCode before, I like that it's python (preferred over ruby, although I'd treat both as black boxes anyway). I'm not a huge fan of the interface though.... although if I had known it existed at the time I probably would have picked it over GitLab. Shame. I'd probably still pick Gogs though... we're not a big team and many of the features provided by GitLab and RhodeCode are above and beyond what we require. Basically, our implementation is me finding a way to force version control onto a team that, for some reason, wasn't using any form of VCS at all.

Gitlab is overkill too for our team and the best open-source alternative to Github is Gogs. It miss code review support and protected branches but features are on the road !
