When I was evaluating options for a self-hosted web git service, I ruled out GitLab because I regard such high resource use as a serious architecture smell. Just asking for trouble.
Also went with gitea. Runs on a potato. If you have few enough users you can stick with SQLite to make it stupid-easy to deploy and administrate.
- bityard 4y agoTo be fair, gitlab is designed for enterprise-scale deployments not a homelab or even a small team. It's like deploying an openstack cluster when you just need a few VMs. I'm on the tools team of a mid-size company and gitlab works very well for our 200ish developers. The only real pain point for us is the difficulty of upgrading combined with the high tempo release cadence.
