Whatever happens to Gitlab, you have the option of hosting the open source edition yourself. If they get acquired by Oracle in the morning, a fork could conceivably rise to take its place.

Just create an account and, bam, off you go. On top of that, even if you did want to host Gitlab yourself, it's "open core", not open source. You'd lose a ton of functionality.

So, just like gitlab.com? > On top of that, even if you did want to host Gitlab yourself, it's "open core", not open source. You'd lose a ton of functionality. That functionality is geared towards enterprise. If you are one, you should be doing your own risk evaluation. If not, you're probably fine with the open source edition.

- foepys 8y agoI hear that again and again but GitLab is so massively complex now, that I don't think anybody without a company of at least 10 full time employees will be able to maintain and reasonably extend it.
