Your GitHub Alternative
- ancarda 8y agoWhy don't GitHub and GitLab support IPv6?
- jaimex2 8y agoNot a high priority I guess.
- jobvandervoort 8y agoOn GitLab: we do, but only if you host it yourself for now. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17226432 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17226432
- langolier 8y agohttps://about.gitlab.com/features/#efficiency https://about.gitlab.com/features/#efficiency "If you host GitLab yourself, IPv6 is supported as long as your underlying provider can support it. GitLab.com on the other hand does not support IPv6 at the moment due to limited provider support."
- jaimex2 8y agoNah, Gitlab all the way.

- jobvandervoort 8y agoOn the comparison with GitLab you mention we don't support IPv6. We do if you host your own. We will enable it for GitLab.com once we're done with the migration to GCP [0]. Our pricing is per user, tiered. Not per-user and then per feature. Although I understand that's not far off from each other.[1] [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47216 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47216 [1]: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/
- jaimex2 8y agoIs IPv6 a driver for anyone?
- jobvandervoort 8y agoI have not heard it mentioned by any user / customer / other community member in the last year, but I think it makes sense to support it.
- ancarda 8y agoIt's a nice to have - but not a dealbreaker - for me. Since I've been using GitHub for years, I am already locked into a platform that's IPv4 only. If I'm moving somewhere new, I'd like to have IPv6 if possible.
- justinclift 8y agoFor us, we have a large userbase in China, and my understanding (could be wrong!) is that Chinese users generally use IPv6. We're hosted on GitHub presently though, so I don't have access to the server logs to see if I'm wrong about that. :)
- ishanjain28 8y agoWifi in my college only supports Ipv6.
- martimarkov 8y agoJust out of curiosity why did you decide to use GCP rather than Azure or AWS?
- jobvandervoort 8y agoWe currently run on Azure. GitLab integrates deeply with Kubernetes and specifically GKE, so it makes sense to run GitLab.com there: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/ https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/
- martimarkov 8y agoI think their comparison is wrong. In Gitlab you don't need to pay per user. It's free and the ppu plans are for paid features. Which you still need to pay for per user with the self-hosted solution. So they only provide a managed Gitlab Core installation. I don't see any point of this. Like what am I missing here?
- jaimex2 8y agoYou can tell the marketing guy was really grasping at straws to get something on the comparison that could be considered an advantage.
- GiorgioG 8y agoI’m not entirely sure why people are freaking out at this point. This is not the Microsoft of the 90s. How many of these folks are happy to use VSCode and then turn around and panic at this acquisition?
- jaimex2 8y agoPeople like to be dramatic. This is good though, I'd like to see a bit more variety and support for other git services.
- telmich 8y agoThat is actually a very good otucome, if it actually happens.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoNot to mention the fact that there hasn't been any kind of official announcement from either party yet.
- neuronic 8y agoThe Internet does, what it does best nowadays: freaking out for 1 or at maximum 2 days about a single topic. Looking forward to the next shitstorm on Wednesday or Thursday.
- oneeyedpigeon 8y agoI'm guessing the people using vscode aren't the ones "freaking out", but I could be wrong.
- mirekrusin 8y agoWhat’s going to happen to atom? Rip, long live vsc? ;/
- pmlnr 8y agoThe demise of Skype was not in the 90s. There are reasons to be vary of the news, although the immediate panic is unaccounted for.
- tole42 8y agoin your shop[1], i am able to buy a "test nico" item? [1]https://shop.ungleich.ch/de_CH/shop/product/test-nico-14 https://shop.ungleich.ch/de_CH/shop/product/test-nico-14
- telmich 8y agoahem not anymore. Thanks for the pointer.
- mmoez 8y agoPressed "Order Now" but I get a 500 Internal Error! https://shop.ungleich.ch/shop/product/private-gitlab-hosting-12 https://shop.ungleich.ch/shop/product/private-gitlab-hosting... > Internal Server Error > The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.
- thisisit 8y agoThe site doesn't work for me. I guess HN hug of death, in which case it doesn't work as a Github alternative at all.
- sofaofthedamned 8y ago"Our products are designed for people who want to get things done. Smoothly and the right way[tm]. " Interesting then that their Q&A page has been hammered to death by HN. What is this product? What does it do, apart from ipv6? What is the price?
- telmich 8y agoThe price is now visible again - we did not expect that much traffic today, to be honest. However stuff is all up again now.
- ofrzeta 8y agoWhy not run your own Git repository server with Gogs? It's easy to install, lightweight and you own your data.
- chupasaurus 8y agoI.e. pull/merge reviews. There is a PR for it in Gitea which is still open, though.
- marceloboeira 8y ago500 ;)
- chipsdujour 8y agoIt's back
- Gys 8y agoNot really an alternative I think. A VM needs management. The good thing about a cloud solution (like Github, Bitbucket) is somebody else is keeping the server up and secure.
- dna_polymerase 8y ago500 when traffic spikes, and you have the guts to name this an alternative to GitHub? Hubris.
- ben0x539 8y agoHubris has long since been acknowledged as a virtue and anyway, there's no need to be so rude about it!
- pi-victor 8y agoTried both gitlab and bitbucket as alternatives. Bibucket server is a-b-y-s-m-al. We use it at work and the UX is so clunky and backwards and for a solution that is intended for enterprise use, most of the logic in the UI/UX seems to not be directed towards a multi-user environment at all. Bitbucket cloud is more or less the same experience. Gitlab is known to be unstable and i'll give it to them, the UI improved a bit lately, it's still pretty bad and i wouldn't say it's very much oriented towards multi user collaboration. I think the main advantage of GitHub is that it was somewhat thought of as an open source hub/portal. Where you have easy access to other projects you wouldn't find without much of a hassle. They would just surface through the help of ratings (github stars).
- mrmondo 8y agoI agree that bitbucket aka shitbucket like all Atlassian products is a POS, but GitLab is far from unstable? We moved to GitLab (self hosted) and it’s been nothing but incredibly reliable for our 120~ people organisation and we use it heavily for mission critical code control, CI/CD and internal Wikis, if it was even slightly unstable - there’s no way we’d still be using it let alone raving about it.
- sverhagen 8y agoWe doubled down on Gitlab some two years ago, coming at it skeptically with our experiences from the years before that. It's come a long way, it's a great product, but maybe the initial pains are still somewhat in our memories then?
- mrmondo 8y agoFair enough, there were a lot of radical UX changes early on but we’ve never had a problem with stability / reliability, by comparison we see a number of Github outages over any given year - to be fair that’s on the hosted product but I would most certainly not want to run Github ‘enterprise’ - it’s a VM image with MySQL and a bunch of other less than desirable technologies.

- dbof 8y agoIt's down at the moment, but there is a snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20180604095123/https://shop.ungleich.ch/github-alternative http://web.archive.org/web/20180604095123/https://shop.ungle...
- telmich 8y agoSorry for the short downtime, we just added some more cores to the system so it can handle the load a bit better.
- janimo 8y agoI don't know how many people actually consider switching, but adding a few private repos to the free github plan will probably make 99% of them reconsider on the spot and even make others switch to github. I doubt MS made the aquisition for the direct profits.
- telmich 8y agoSo HN officially surpassed any slashdot traffic that we had so far - could say we just got hn'ed.
- m0skit0 8y agoYour GitHub Alternative. Not free. DoS'ed since published in Hacker News.
- akerro 8y agoThis is not an alternative, as this is paid. Both github and gitlab offer free versions.
- donquichotte 8y agoThis is not even an article, it is an ad for a company (ungleich.ch) that provides github-like hosting services.
- bjpbakker 8y agoIndeed. Since their product is "Private Gitlab Hosting", they only seem to provide the hosting. This is not inherently bad, but they make it look like they are much better than Gitlab. Personally I'd rather give my money to Gitlab so support their development.
- shawn 8y agoProducts show up on HN all the time.
- thepapanoob 8y agothis is far from professional... the website has multiple test objects activated, dummy shop items, is poorly optimized, spelling errors all over the place. also this is far away from a github alternative... all you do is start a vm and run the installer script
- hden 8y agoGit over SSB network. https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU%3D.sha256 https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoy...
- archi42 8y agoHm, I wouldn't migrate my FOSS stuff to ungleich, simply because I don't earn money with it and while I am willing to invest my free time I feel different on throwing money into it. (Company wise I can't make the decision, but I suppose the benefit over our current git-on-NFS + bugzilla + custom distributed, reproducible build system would be negligible, especially given the price for the license). With that said: What's so much better about ungleich than rolling your own VM somewhere? For a hackathon and as an experiment I recently setup Gitlab on a fresh Arch Linux VM using the Arch gitlab package and setup was very easy. I suppose using the official way of installation makes it even easier. Do you keep the VM, OS and gitlab up-to-date? Do you do backups?
- telmich 8y agoI think that is a very fair point. If you have the time & fun to setup on your own, there is absolutely nothing speaking against it (many of our employees actually run their own services for fun). In terms of maintenance: we ensure that the system and installation is up-to-date. We offer offsite backup as an addon, too.
- a_lifters_life 8y agoWhy wouldnt I just use bitbucket?
