- DouweM 12y agoDigital Ocean recommends running GitLab on their $10/month instance, so while I haven't tried it, the $5 one is probably still up to the task: https://www.digitalocean.com/features/one-click-apps/gitlab/ https://www.digitalocean.com/features/one-click-apps/gitlab/ (Full disclosure: I'm a developer at GitLab B.V.)
- sytse 12y agoIf you're going for the 512MB please read the requirements https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/requirements.md#memory https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst... (make sure to set up swap and use ssh access)
- bau5 12y ago> 512MB RAM + 1.5GB of swap is the absolute minimum lol
- ceejayoz 12y agoLeaving me with an entire annual savings of $24 over Github. I should probably set up SSL, backups, patch it occasionally, etc., which is going to pretty quickly eat that up.
- bau5 12y agoYou could use BitBucket. They have free private repositories. The cool thing about this is that it makes self-hosting a viable option for more people.
- awalGarg 12y agoCan confirm. Running Gitlab on the $5 (or even $10) Digital Ocean VM is not gonna give you optimal experience unless you are a single user with a tiny repository and dedicate the entire VM to Gitlab (even after that, it is pretty slow on the $5 instance). Haven't tried Gogs yet but sounds like it would be faster.
