GitBlit is also a good option: http://gitblit.com/

KevinEldon2• 12 years ago

Second this. I use GitBlit with my team. It is a very good fit for Java teams new to git who can't let code out if the firewall especially if most of the admins are strong in Windows; specifically I mean it is good for small teams in big corps.

Gitlab is an option as well.

I found the README in their Github repo has additional info: https://github.com/gogits/gogs

It seems like they intend to manipulate git entirely from Go. Interesting stuff!

Serious question about Gitlab and something that has always scared me away: How does it perform on a resource-constrained system? A lot of the hardware requirements[1] are presented in terms of <x> users, but the "minimum" RAM requirement seems really high. If I wanted to use this with a small team (~20 users) in a resource constrained environment it seems like it'd be way overkill.

It needs disk space mostly, and you can run it with 2G RAM, so that's 20 USD/month on a VPS with SSDs with 40G space.

If that's still not cheap enough, then you can of course use it on a non-SSD VPS, configure it to use fewer Ruby worker processes and so on.

The only problem I (we) have with GitLab, is that it doesn't cache git trees, so it always fires off a git process to read the repository. (At least when this came up they wasn't open to caching it in Redis. Maybe this changed, or maybe it's available in their Enterprise offering...)

The ram usage is very high for an application of this type, if you compare it to something like Indefero [1]. The minimum requirements on the page you linked seem correct.

Good point, I've just changed the RAM requirement since it was a bit outdated, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/01799721dc6cb... for the change and new version on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst...

Looks much easier to deploy than Gitlab.

mitchty2• 12 years ago

I just updated gitlab from 6.0 to 6.7 at work this weekend. That it does indeed.

Which reminds me I have to submit patches to their init script.

Rails is OK, but damn is it a bit of a time suck.

sytse3• 12 years ago

Sorry to hear the init script is giving you problems. We look forward to your merge request.

I was actually just thinking about how this clone would make a good blog post pointing out the pain that hovers around many substantial ruby/rails projects versus other tool sets. To be able to download the binary and just run a web app ... amazing. Considering the last time I tried to run Gitlab all kinds of libraries didn't install properly and workers wouldn't come up when they were supposed to.

sytse3• 12 years ago

Rails apps are indeed a pain to install, that is why we made packages https://www.gitlab.com/downloads/ with Omnibus, we don't have a blog post about it but there is a video discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTmpKudd-Oo

Already__Taken• 12 years ago

Onthe up side there are docker containers you can just deploy with gitlab. Testing went ok but I've not got the chance to use it really.

Nux• 12 years ago

https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket is an option, too

bjohnso52• 12 years ago

I'm probably an awful person, but I laughed out loud when I saw this config key: DISENABLE_REGISTERATION

atmosx2• 12 years ago

You can become a slightly better person by changing the line and making a pull request.

It's obvious that he is not a native speaker. Neither am I of course :-)

bjohnso52• 12 years ago

Right you are, pull request complete!

This sounds like something from Spaceteam: http://www.sleepingbeastgames.com/spaceteam/

cnbuff410• 12 years ago

Complicate deployment is one of the major reason for me to stay away from using Self-hosted Git Server for my small team.

This one looks really interesting and promising. Being open source project is another major bonus.

KevinEldon2• 12 years ago

Take a look @ GitBlit (http://www.gitblit.com/) It can run with only a dependency on JRE 1.6 or better.

Matrixik• 12 years ago

And Gogs will run with no dependencies... https://github.com/gogits/gogs#purpose

auxbuss• 12 years ago

On Debian-based systems you can install the gitolite package (from the repo) and then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gitolite. You can then start pushing and pulling.

Noticed the release notes mention a forced password reset for all users because of a hash change.

Couldn't that be avoided by storing the hash type/version, and silently upgrade on the next successful login (when the password is available briefly in plaintext in the login request)?

This is what Django does. Works very well.

rakoo2• 12 years ago

I like it, but the blatant copy of the Github design makes me wonder: could one run a public Gogs instance ?

Anyway, that's a really slick work. Once again Go shines and make that project super easy to install.

farresito• 12 years ago

To be honest, I would say that Gitlab is more of a copy of Github than this project, and so far I haven't seen any problem with Gitlab.

smw• 12 years ago

Besides the ease of installation, the thing that most impresses me is the very low resource usage and amazing responsiveness on even a tiny VPS.

    PID USER      PRI  NI  VIRT   RES   SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+  Command
  31378 smw        20   0  262M 11516  5712 S  0.0  0.6 0:00.00 ./gogs web

11 MB of RSS? Quoting user 'pas' in an earlier comment, Gitlab wants about 2GB.

I have no idea how well it scales to a large user base, but I feel like this is going to become the go to option for side projects where you just want to share some private code with a friend or two.

rakoo2• 12 years ago

How many repos do you have ? I don't expect gogs to come even close to what gitlab requires but I'd love to see some numbers.

joe2010xtmf• 12 years ago

Given the code churn for this project, it looks like they are working on this full-time.

Somewhat off-topic, but I notice they are using xorm as their golang ORM. Anyone have experience with this? I use gorm, and I wonder how xorm compares.

green7ea• 12 years ago

I've recently installed cgit. I'm really happy with it's simplicity and easy of use.
