(Double huh...) As Alan is always quick to quip:: JavaScript ain't java, so that changes the entire game. Performance can be fixed with a gentoo cluster (yet to be proven). I also read that gitlab is working to make the "engine" faster..... > I have tried it using docker, and it does uses a lot of resources as > someone previously said. That's what clusters are for. ymmv. Lots of folks are using mesos, for a variety of workloads. Others like Openstack, which is supported in gentoo portage. My work on Apache-Mesos is suspended until I finish up a rack install system I've been hacking on for a while. Apache-Mesos, that works, can be found in BGO. Folks are building mesos cluster on Arm64v8 (Rpi-3) and soon those arm clusters are going to everywhere, particularly in small companies.... An 8 node cluster for less than $500 USD. (includes 32 cores, 8 arm gpus and 16 gig of ram. So I'm just waiting on an arm64v8 board that has 4 gig of ram each. > BTW, after I quick look at Gogs it does seem a nice option, very > 'github like'. I will try it for sure. For me, robust gentoo support for both Gogs and Gitlab is a good idea as these are excellent codes to put on a (gentoo) cluster.... > [1] https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq hth, James
