Yesterday, I first heard of the screwed-o-meter:
https://rachelbythebay.com/fun/som/ https://rachelbythebay.com/fun/som/
Plugging in for GitHub gets a score of about 90%. GitLab is in the mid 30%'s. (Assuming Arch is keeping a backup mirror of the bugtracker, etc on a private instance somewhere.)
That seems good enough to not bother with actually hosting it yourself. I'd rather they spend volunteer time on stuff other than applying security patches to a giant beast of a web service.
- trufas 3y agoThey're using Gitlab CE. I assume the whole thing is running on their own servers.
- Foxboron 3y agoWe do. The infrastructure is obviously open-source as well. Ansible role for gitlab: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/tree/master/roles/gitlab?ref_type=heads https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/tree... Gitlab playbook: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob/master/playbooks/gitlab.archlinux.org.yml?ref_type=heads https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob...
- trufas 3y agoI guess it makes sense but still, brave to be running all the infra on Arch ;) This is really clean! I'll definitely be using it as a reference for IaC done right. Congrats on the migration.
- Foxboron 3y agoA lot of effort is spent on packaging the stuff we need for our own infrastructure so we can run it in prod. Gitlab is one of these exceptions but generally it's been working well for us.
- Svenstaro 3y agoWe're using GitLab EE in Arch.
- arp242 3y agoNo idea how you can get all the way up to 90% for GitHub. You need to click all but two checkboxes for that, and that's clearly just bollocks.
