You can self host GitHub too

• meesles 6y ago
  Source? I don't think that's true. Github has on-premises enterprise solutions but one should not confuse that with running free and open software on your own machines - https://enterprise.github.com/faq https://enterprise.github.com/faq

    I personally don't think anyone would confuse it, but the fact remains, you can host self GitHub. Maybe it costs, maybe it has string attached but ultimately the functionality is there... which makes it true.

  If you pay the enterprise fee, which is likely an X amount per seat. They MIGHT give it out for free to Wikimedia as a favor / goodwill, but there will be strings attached. (I'm not saying Gitlab doesn't have strings attached)

  It's not open source, at best they ship you a locked down VM image to run yourself. Edit: Confirmed, "GitHub Enterprise is delivered as a virtual appliance that includes all software required to get up and running. The only additional software required is a compatible virtual machine environment." https://enterprise.github.com/faq https://enterprise.github.com/faq

    This is not true, they publish the code at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab. If you want to use premium features, you do have to pay to unlock them, and depending on your deployment you would need to get the gitlab-ee image instead of the gitlab-ce one.

      We're talking about GitHub.

  Which costs $21/user/month versus $0 for the free plan and $4 for the team plan. That's a steep price increase.
