My favorite part of GitLab is the .gitlab-ci.yml and gitlab-runner workflow. My least favorite is how much RAM is required to run GitLab. You can't host your own on a $5 DigitalOcean vps. Does anyone know of any work being done on gitea/gogs, or other alternatives, that would support .gitlab-ci.yml and gitlab-runner?
@gitlab It would be awesome if you would split out GitLab-CI into something you can host separately as a direct competitor to Jenkins. Or maybe a stripped down "lite" version that could be hosted on small vps's. I know that doesn't fit your overall vision, or really help your bottom line, but it would help a lot of individuals and small organizations that need to self host for some reason (as in, there's a reason they can't use GitLab.com).
- AlphaSite 8y agoisn't `.gitlab-ci.yml` just the same as a jenkins pipeline?
- jerrac 8y agoI haven't looked into Jenkin's in a couple years, so I'm not sure. My experience as the sysadmin of our Jenkin's server was decidedly negative. I was pretty happy when I was able to move to GitLab-CI instead of Jenkin's. It has it's issues, but at least I can upgrade it without breaking the entire instance....
- sytse 8y agoGitLab CI used to be a completely separate application. When we integrated both we learned of the emergent benefits of an integrated application https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application/#emergent-benefits-of-a-single-application https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application... and we want to keep those. I understand the need to have GitLab use less memory, I commented in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17588073 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17588073 about our plans. BTW If you want to use just GitLab CI and are a current GitHub customer you can do that https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/ https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/
- dirtylowprofile 8y agoI am running GitLab on $5 DigitalOcean droplet but the tradeoff I have to create a Swap file worth 2GB.
