Server for GitLab
Hello all,
I've been browsing around for a VPS to run GitLab on.
The recommended specifications by GitLab are:
2 cores
2GB RAM + swap
Decent disk space (double your project sizes)
However, it does mention 2GB is recommended for 500 users, so the lower boundary for specifications would be something around
2 cores
1GB RAM + swap
50-100GB disk (if upgrade-able when needed, then all the better)
EDIT: It appears that pushing the lower boundary is not a good idea. The 50-100GB disk space requirement is still here
I'm hoping for a yearly VPS, and I expect the cost to be around $50, but as long as the price isn't unreasonable and the provider is well-known, I'll most likely go with it.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Why don't you just use Github directly? would that be easier?
They are not kidding about the 2GB ram recommendation. I am looking at my installation, I have half a dozen users and only a couple of repositories on the server. With nginx, unicorn_rails, sidekiq and mariaDB running (all needed with Gitlab), it consumes around 1.5GB of ram. I suppose you could dial down the workers and settings, however, 1GB is pushing it a bit in my opinion.

Perhaps, but I feel that I could benefit from this if not just from experimenting.
@Caveman122
I see. I will update OP to reflect this then
or go the hosted route where @0xdragon could help
Hi!
I can offer you the following:
We also do custom package on demand. Feel free to contact me or my sales team at http://krkn.pw/contact
Regards, David
@samczsun i have one more of this and is only 2.99 euro/month please see this post http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/42417/limited-offer-3gb-ram-30gb-hdd-1gbps-port-openvz-2-99-euro-mo-hostsolutions-ro#latest
Gitlab is slow and requires a lot of resources. I personally use http://gogs.io/, its fast and does not require much resources.
+1 for @0xdragon
Come one man, give the people what they want! Hehe
Good morning @samczsun,
This should fit your needs:
http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/41073/cloudcommando-lighting-up-your-late-new-year-gitlab-observium-piwik-wildcard-ssl-from-5-yr
Or if you want a more direct link, here: http://cloudcommando.com/special_plan/
(Yes, the coupons have expired, except for maybe Observium.)
Although this GitLab launch offer has ended, the price is still half of your budget for a whole year, and you get the benefit of having everything ready for you. This package includes a dedicated IP. Of course, you can choose between Gogs and Gitlab.
I can give you 100GB space for an extra $15. Just open a ticket after purchasing.
Please let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to assist!
Thanks!
Hello everyone,
Thank you for all your offers. I believe I have found a suitable provider and am now in the process of setting everything up. However, if things don't work out, I now have many others to keep in mind.
Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their time and especially @ksubedi for the alternative (which I am now considering in place of GitLab)
