A large chunk of companies I've worked for or consulted for had their own on-prem Gitlab. I think they chose correctly.

A large chunk of companies I've worked for or consulted for had their own on-prem Gitlab. I think they chose correctly.
- veber-alex 4mo agoOn perm Gitlab has a ton of problems too.
- DarkNova6 4mo agoFor examples? Never ran into them myself but I don't do ops.
- veber-alex 4mo agoI don't do ops myself so I don't know the exact details but sometimes Gitlab is down or there are strange issues with CI/CD breaking.
- Kelteseth 4mo agoWe had zero in the last 7 years. But we are only a small team of 8.
- neilv 4mo agoCodeberg runs open source Forgejo, and you could on-prem that too (for no license cost), if it suits your needs. GitLab is more powerful in some ways, but early startups might want to look at Forgejo first.
- OptionOfT 4mo ago> but early startups might want to look at Forgejo first. Sorry, but there are a million things to do. Paying someone to self-host Forgejo isn't even on that list. We'll just pay someone at the moment.
- esseph 4mo agoDepends on the nature of your startup, and if you have significant infrastructure/architrcture for your workload or not. If you have significant scale you likely have a DevOps / SysAdmin type.
- neilv 4mo agoYeah, and if you're early, like a few-person startup, you hopefully have someone who can do ops things as needed. When I was the one-person eng and ops departments for a few-person seed-stage startup, which already had a major customer in critical production... even when we bought SaaSes (e.g., GitLab), I still needed to spend significant time on the recurring manual steps of backup processes for everywhere we put data we couldn't afford to lose, even after I'd spent time to automate everything that was worthwhile to automate. For my last side-startup, I just self-hosted Forgejo myself (Git, Issues & Boards, Wiki), and it's less work than when I was doing the same with paid GitLab SaaS. It depends on the case-by-case circumstances, but sometimes self-hosting an open source package, on your laptop, random PC in the corner, or your existing AWS account, takes less of your valuable time than a paid SaaS does.
- TranquilMarmot 4mo agoThis seems like a weird comment since Codeberg is only for open source projects, you literally cannot use it for private code. On-prem Forgejo would be the equivalent to on-prem GitLab, both of which are unrelated to this outage.
- miav 4mo agoI’m using it for private, not publicly visible code right now.
