GitLab 8.15 Released
@Gitlab: The features are great but the interface setup is shocking. That whole video assumes you have a K-cluster going already, and is a maze of this-thing, that-thing, auth-thing, copy-thing, etc. Have you guys ever tried interviewing users who are new or maintaining a Gitlab instance over major version upgrades? It's painful.<p>The 'quick fix' for setup these days is supposed to be to use a docker image... but the docker image most people use is unofficial, the maintainer is swamped and has a policy of ignoring problems, and although it runs it doesn't work well with real IPs/DNS/SSL/etc. for common cases (eg. email setup silently fails for many and has for ages - see <a href="https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab/issues/596" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab/issues/596</a> and <a href="https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab/issues/1005" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab/issues/1005</a> which I recently opened) and adds the docker-is-a-moving-target complexity issue to the potential user's stack.<p>Normally I am based in China. Given that Github access is not super fast or stable there, you guys have a great opportunity to take that market. I'd personally love to use Gitlab both for my own business and those I consult for, but I can't get past go with mail on real infrastructure, and experiences with upgrades to date have been terrible.<p>Just offering my own recent experiences as a point of reference.
