Mathias hits the bumps hosting GitLab

I wanted to start by saying thanks for making an amazing show that helps me a lowly SRE understand how developers think and cool tools I can use when I pretend to be a developer. O

ne thing I think you missed about self hosting gitlab is the scope creep and how difficult it is troubleshoot during the rare times an update goes south. 

I recently switched from self hosting gitlab to self hosting gitea because after a bad update troubleshooting it made me rage quit. There are bunch log files with no info relavent info, the config file is a 6000+ line chef config and it brings own service manager. 

Finally there is reesource usage and I had to have a 8gb VM just to keep a personal instance of gitlab up running and gitea uses an order of magnitude less memory. Are any of these things influencing your decisions to stay with gitlab or migrate to github? thanks again for the great show.
