Gitlab is very complex and a heavy resource hog. You probably don’t need it. Most small to medium enterprises can comfortably host their projects on lightweight forgejo or gitea (speaking from experience). They even have functionality similar to github actions. If you need anything more complex, you are better off integrating another self hosted external service to the mix.
FYI you can self-host GitLab, for example in a Docker container.
Or you could make your life a lot easier and use Forgejo
You can also just make bare got repositories on any server you can ssh into.
got it
Coincidentally, this is what git is short for.
Source: “git” can mean anything, depending on your mood.

It’s the worst example, but it’s an example, sure.
Much like that comment. Can you give a better example, or express why it’s a bad example? That would bring some quality in.
https://forgejo.org/ here’s a little better example
Forgejo is a gitea fork, it’s got nothing to do with gitlab
They’re all forks of OG git tho
Are they “forks” or are they “built on top of”?
