I've always been a little cautious of running it myself. When I look at the components involved there are a lot of moving parts. And I don't want to be ever in a position where I can't get things started again. If I'm running on premise I'll switch to gitea with drone ci instead.

GitLab has virtual machine image, so it's really unobtrusive for your system.

They also have a Debian package with sets up the whole environment. It has worked well for me so far. The only thing I had to add was a backup script.

The omnibus package makes it real easy to install, especially with Ansible.

FYI if you are uploading to AWS or other cloud providers, you don’t even need a backup script. You can configure it in the gitlab.rb file:
