I’d say it depends, I run my own on prem server and gitlab was a PITA. Too many moving parts, updating took too much of my time, and I never felt “safe”.
Moving to gitea solved all of those issues for me (thus far), now I’m looking into adding other stuff like CI through Drone.
- edgyquant 5y agoIt definitely depends. We’re pretty early stage and I’m the senior engineer+infrastructure guy so running our own gitea instance or whatever is just more time that I’m almost out of.
- Inversechi 5y agoDid you consider woodpecker instead of drone? It's basically an evolved fork of the OSS version. https://woodpecker-ci.org/ https://woodpecker-ci.org/
- xondono 5y agoDidn’t even know about it. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
- KronisLV 5y agoCuriously, this was also my own experience! I actually wrote a bit about the migration process, as well as the reasons for migrating over to Gitea, Nexus and Drone CI as opposed to using GitLab, GitLab Registry and GitLab CI: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-nexus-and-drone https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-... With containers, it's actually a pretty good experience that's not too hard to setup or manage.
