self hosted won't insulate you from your VCS instance failing.
I used to work at a medium-sized company with Gitlab 8 years ago, it was running into several issues and required frequent maintenance.
- gjulianm 5y agoTo give another data point, in my company we're running Gitlab (we started 3,4 years ago maybe?) with some pretty heavy use of CI and we've had no issues, even with automatic upgrades enabled (we have tested backups, we're not crazy).
- 1337shadow 5y agoConfirmed, on a ubuntu host GitLab is actually the product that I have the best self hosted experience with. Apt packages running their Chef Cookbooks always impressive!
- rvz 5y agoWell going all in on GitHub / GitHub Actions now really sounds like a bad idea. Even some others had issues [0] and had no external backup plan to counter GitHub's regular outages. The best example to learn from is ReactOS who while has moved to GitHub they at least have a self-hosted backup just in case GitHub falls over. [1] For the ones who are not on GitHub and are self-hosting (OpenBSD, Mozilla, Linux Kernel Project, GNOME, xfce, wireguard) I don't hear any complaints from them.
