Digital Ocean has so called one click apps, that they can deploy and setup at any droplet and gitlab is one of them: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/one-click-apps/gitlab/ https://www.digitalocean.com/products/one-click-apps/gitlab/ I have tried it before and it just works, took my less than 5 minutes to have a fully working gitlab instance on a $10/month droplet. It's not the cheapest option probably, but very low effort so it's quite worth it.
