I had public registration enabled my own GitLab instance. No real issues for years, until one day I woke up and noticed everything hosted on that server went down simultaneously. Logged into the server, couldn't even do the simplest operations (like `apt update`). Long story short, someone decided this was the perfect place to upload well over a terabyte of what looked like random Android ROMs, filling the partition to the brim. I had GitLab configured to make an automatic backup of itself on a root partition (from where it gets moved "off-site"), so my root partition got filled as well, bringing everything else down in the process. Needless to say, I no longer have public registration enabled. Anyways, I can imagine the horrors that GitLab(.com) has to go through to keep the service public.
