GitBucket: A Github/BitBucket clone in Scala

Somewhat meta, but why are so many stories on HN "<existing product> written in <different language>", and not "<existing product> with <interesting new idea>"? It's quite possible that gitbucket is better than github or gitlab for some reason, and if so I'd like to know that reason; "It's identical on the surface and different under the hood (not necessarily better, just different)" doesn't seem like a particularly great way to generate interest...

  It would be a great way of learning Scala.
  - hrjet 13y ago
    OP here. This is one of the reasons to mention Scala in the title. Not just Scala, but also an opportunity to learn frameworks like Scalatra. I was actually evaluating different Scala frameworks and stumbled upon this project as well as another neat one: https://github.com/ornicar/lila https://github.com/ornicar/lila
    - cefstat 13y ago
      Although I understand your motivation, when I see "clone of X in language Y" I think that this is something being hyped only because of the choice of language and not because of the project's actual merits. In the case of GitBucket the most important advantage is its easy installation, especially when compared to the more well known GitLab (that I never dared install after reading through the installation instructions).
  - hansgru 13y ago
    > It would be a great way of learning Scala. For me it is :). I started to learn Scala after finding this nice project. Since it was so easy to install it (just copied the WAR file in a running Tomcat) it made me curious enough to give Scala a try and also to buy the Scalatra book too :).
- wtetzner 13y ago
  From my very brief look at GitBucket, at least one thing jumps out at me: ease of install. Just drop one .war file in a directory and go.
  - rrouse 13y ago
    You can do that with JRuby as well. I believe that's what you get with Github Enterprise. But yeah, anytime we have ease of install, we all win.
    - kev009 13y ago
      GitHub enterprise comes only as a VM now. Every release for the past year has had upgrade problems or significant bugs. It's amateur hour compared to the public version.
      - rrouse 13y ago
        Oh that's a real shame. They charge so much for it too.
- andyroid 13y ago
  If they're trying to attract users you are certainly right. But if they're trying to attract developers/contributors (which seems plausible for a new project), language choice certainly matters.
- amazari 13y ago
  I guess the major advantage of this solution over github is its source availability under a FOSS license (Apache). The story's title might indeed be more informative by stating that instead of focusing on the implementation language.
- m0th87 13y ago
  Because most of us are developers, the medium of a software product is considered interesting as well as the finished product. This should hardly be surprising and I'm glad there's a forum whose interests span beyond an ends-justify-the-means approach to software.
  - Shish2k 13y ago
    > the medium of a software product is considered interesting as well as the finished product I get that, and I find things like the demoscene interesting where the medium is a large part of the value -- but in this case (and most cases when stories like this are posted) it seems like a serious business product, where the medium is an implementation detail - the value is in other things like "open source" and "easy to install"
    - SkyMarshal 13y ago
      For anyone who's tried to setup and run Gitorious, an "easily installable" version of anything like it (eg a Github clone) is particularly attractive. As mentioned, when I see "written in Scala", the implication is you ./sbt package it into a WAR, then stick it in a standard servlet container, and voila, up and running. In Gitbucket's case you don't even have to package it, just download the war. So for a bunch of coders who may want to run a repo service on their internal network, employer or client's network, this is an interesting option. Also it's FOSS, which I upvote by default here, be it from Mozilla or a random hobbyist. PS - Not to bag on Gitorious, great FOSS project and much improved install as of late.
- levosmetalo 13y ago
  In this case, "written in Scala" is already interesting new idea. By the fact it's written in Scala, I already know that it can be run on standard JVM application server stack, that it will need less resources than your standard Ruby implementation and be much more performant and cheaper to maintain if installed locally.

- malandrew 13y ago
  Advertising the language is valuable if you speak that language. It's a large codebase for a complete product that you might want to peruse to learn something about how a large project in that language could be built.
- TheSmoke 13y ago
  as a developer, i don't need them to be different than each other as they are mostly open source so i can take a good look at what they have done, how they've done it and many other things. i'd like to think such applications as showcase apps for the languages as a prospective user, having this web application up and running somewhere and showing it would be much more compelling to me.
jheriko 13y ago
this is totally uninteresting to me - there are tons of services providing hosting to go with the software used for hosting. what i really want is a source control client that doesn't suck. that is a problem which actually needs solving and where there is a potential market to steal from perforce... (why do i not just make this?!?)

I don't 100% understand this project. From the screenshots [1] it looks exactly like GitHub so why would I want to use this product over GitHub, GitHub Private, or GitHub Enterprise? Both GitHub and Bitbucket are community, pages, hosting, public repos, third party integration, new features, innovation and support. While this looks like a cool programming challenge, I need to be sold on why I should use it as a product. Edit: Someone pointed out that they may be looking for developers to hack on the project which makes sense.

- hrjet 13y ago
  It's open source. You could fork and add more features to it. For example, I am going to try and add a file navigator in the PR interface. Another is, voting for an issue without adding a +1 in the comments. This is the biggest pain point in GitHub for me.
- rytis 13y ago
  For example when you don't want to rely on GitHub being available/online? Or if you just don't trust 3rd party service providers with your data?
  - joeblau 13y ago
    This project is marketing the community aspect, not the availability of privacy aspect. This doesn't provide any better availability/privacy than GitHub Enterprise or GitLab and it doest provide anymore trust than those two services. If you're looking to learn Scala or hack on an open-source Scala project, then I could see why this is cool.
- hansgru 13y ago
  > I need to be sold on why I should use it as a product. What about self-hosting for public and private repos? (Internet or intranet)? It's main usage is for small teams and projects that don't want to put theirs source on external servers, nor do have the money for GitHub Enterprise.
quchen 13y ago
I like the idea of having your private Github. Relying on some company far away to keep their servers running (while having a bullseye for DDoS painted on itself it seems) for larger commercial projects always turned me off a bit.
- aram 13y ago
  Check out GitLab[1] - it's pretty well developed and recently hit v6. [1] http://gitlab.org/ http://gitlab.org/

    Also exists as a nice n easy turnkeylinux package - I use it for all of my private repos http://www.turnkeylinux.org/gitlab http://www.turnkeylinux.org/gitlab
    - jbrooksuk 13y ago
      I installed that about a month ago as I was having issues installing GitLab on a fresh Ubuntu installation. Trying to upgrade to the latest version is a massive ball ache. It completely messed up. Eventually I installed myself. Everything works great now, although I had a couple of hiccups when trying to upgrade to a beta (that'll teach me).

        I'm reasonably proficient in Linux, but lost hours trying to install (intent was a greenfield upgrade) Gitlab on clean Ubuntu instance. The drop-in-and-run WAR stuff is the greatest thing ever (I'm using Gitblit).
  - EtienneK 13y ago
    It's a nightmare to install in Windows though. This is much easier. Drop the WAR file and then type in 1 command to run it.
pestaa 13y ago

  I am not the author nor have I tried it yet myself. Still downloading the war (yeah I am on a slow wire). But it's hugely appealing that 1. It's written in Scala. (A language I am familiar with) 2. It's packaged as a single file; download and run. I like single file installs. YouTrack by JetBrains is another example.
  - noir_lord 13y ago
    I'd missed YouTrack (which considering I adore phpstorm and pycharm is annoying), it looks excellent :).
    - hrjet 13y ago
      YouTrack is neat. Keyboard shortcuts for everything, well thought out interface. And it is implemented in this new meta-language called MTS. MTS is a topic unto itself. Check out this for example: http://mbeddr.wordpress.com/blog/ http://mbeddr.wordpress.com/blog/ An Embedded C DSL, built using MTS.
      - noir_lord 13y ago

  - AhtiK 13y ago
    Thanks. Just to be clear, I appreciate the effort and do not say it was something illegal to do. I was just wondering about theoretical consequences of cloning UI/tool of a successful company software with the reason of the tool/interface being too expensive. If it's done for learning the technologies then it's "for educational purposes" and probably falls into another copyright use category that is more permissive.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very very nice. Painless to run, too.

Is there an equivalent for github's ssh key lookup - which used to be based on mysql, but is now based on a web service talking to mysql using persistant connection pools.
programminggeek 13y ago
Every time I see a github project for installable software, the first thing I want to see is a screenshot. I realize that's shallow, but it is what it is.
alyandon 13y ago
This looks like a lot of effort has gone into it and I eagerly await support for ssh & https. We have an internal instance of GitLab set up here at work and I'd love to see something that was easier to upgrade take its place. Edit: I just tried to import a large code base with a pretty lengthy history and managed to bring the entire service down. Problem accessing [snip]. Reason: Timeout trying to lock table "ACCOUNT"; SQL statement: select x2."USER_NAME", x2."MAIL_ADDRESS", x2."PASSWORD", x2."ADMINISTRATOR", x2."URL", x2."REGISTERED_DATE", x2."UPDATED_DATE", x2."LAST_LOGIN_DATE", x2."IMAGE", x2."GROUP_ACCOUNT" from "ACCOUNT" x2 where x2."USER_NAME" = ? Edit2: Seems someone already reported it https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket/issues/112 https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket/issues/112 Edit3: Repository is corrupt. :( Edit4: No it isn't - hurray git :)

I was just wondering about theoretical consequences of cloning UI/tool of a successful company software with the reason of the tool/interface being too expensive. If it's done for learning the technologies then it's "for educational purposes" and probably falls into another copyright use category that is more permissive.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very very nice. Painless to run, too.

How does this communicate with git?

Looks like it uses JGit.

Shame the test directory only contains one test

Is there an equivalent for github's ssh key lookup - which used to be based on mysql, but is now based on a web service talking to mysql using persistant connection pools.

Every time I see a github project for installable software, the first thing I want to see is a screenshot. I realize that's shallow, but it is what it is.

This looks like a lot of effort has gone into it and I eagerly await support for ssh & https. We have an internal instance of GitLab set up here at work and I'd love to see something that was easier to upgrade take its place. Edit: I just tried to import a large code base with a pretty lengthy history and managed to bring the entire service down. Problem accessing [snip]. Reason: Timeout trying to lock table "ACCOUNT"; SQL statement: select x2."USER_NAME", x2."MAIL_ADDRESS", x2."PASSWORD", x2."ADMINISTRATOR", x2."URL", x2."REGISTERED_DATE", x2."UPDATED_DATE", x2."LAST_LOGIN_DATE", x2."IMAGE", x2."GROUP_ACCOUNT" from "ACCOUNT" x2 where x2."USER_NAME" = ? Edit2: Seems someone already reported it https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket/issues/112 https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket/issues/112 Edit3: Repository is corrupt. :( Edit4: No it isn't - hurray git :)
