The Gitlab docker image is suboptimal. There are inexplicable resource 
consumption peaks when we use ours at work, even when the machine is idle. It's 
inept to put an entire system in another one when you can already install a 
basic git service with a web server and tools of your choice for a limited 
effort.

Hello Detlef,

As suggested within the digest e-mails, it's better to edit the Subject
when replying to such an e-mail and thus provide information about the
real subject of your response rather than just information that you are
subscribed to digests.

Thanks

Tomas

Actually Microsoft is quite a large cloud provider, and can afford to
partition its offerings and isn't as dependent on a single point (or
continent) hosting as others.

News just in  M$ has bought GitHub.

https://news.softpedia.com/news/microsoft-takes-over-github-521380.shtml

What a sad day it is. It seems that one day the whole Internet will be owned 
and run my four companies: Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook.
I guess I'll be doing what the Free Pascal project has done all along...
Host my own repositories and bug tracker. Less sh*t and in full control or my 
work.

I've had plans to move many of my projects off SourceForge to GitHub because of 
SourceForge's performance problems and frequent outages. Now that plan will NOT 
happen and I'll most likely start hosting my own public repositories instead.


Regards,
  Graeme
