I really want to love phabricator, but the local install for a new team is so painful... any thoughts about how to make that better?

- collyw 10y agoEveryone is talking about installing these services. Don't they have a central hosted server like Gihub?
- Karunamon 10y agoI have this problem too. It's not hard to set up, there are just so many tiny pieces that need to be run by hand that it's going to take a human well over an hour to read through the docs and get it right. Someone made a Saltstack state[1] that I've used and had some success with - installing and configuring Salt from zero and using this config is still faster than installing Phabricator by hand.

- lima 10y agoIt's actually much easier to setup and operate than GitLab with its massive dependencies. Also a lot faster.
- Karunamon 10y agoGitlab is unfortunately a pig, in the large and bloated sense of the term. Which is really sad! I love the app, it looks better than Phabricator and does so much more, but then I can throw Phabricator on the same droplet I use for plenty of other stuff with resources to spare for $5/month, where Gitlab would require a dedicated $10 instance just due to memory usage alone. Guess I'm just not the target audience :(
- brodock 10y agoYou can use gitlab.com for free... don't need to install it in your own box.
- jobvandervoort 10y agoSetting up GitLab can be done through our repositories quite easily nowadays. It boils down to: apt-get install gitlab-ce
- cookiesboxcar 10y agoI'm talking specifically about the client tool arcanist, which IMO is the real benefit of Phabricator
- segmondy 10y agoPackage it as a docker container.
