On the comparison with GitLab you mention we don&#x27;t support IPv6. We do if you host your own.<p>We will enable it for GitLab.com once we&#x27;re done with the migration to GCP [0].<p>Our pricing is per user, tiered. Not per-user and then per feature. Although I understand that&#x27;s not far off from each other.[1]<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;gitlab-org&#x2F;gitlab-ce&#x2F;issues&#x2F;47216" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;gitlab-org&#x2F;gitlab-ce&#x2F;issues&#x2F;47216</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;about.gitlab.com&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;about.gitlab.com&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;</a>

This is not even an article, it is an ad for a company (ungleich.ch) that provides github-like hosting services.

I’m not entirely sure why people are freaking out at this point. This is not the Microsoft of the 90s. How many of these folks are happy to use VSCode and then turn around and panic at this acquisition?

I don&#x27;t know how many people actually consider switching, but adding a few private repos to the free github plan will probably make 99% of them reconsider on the spot and even make others switch to github. I doubt MS made the aquisition for the direct profits.

&quot;Our products are designed for people who want to get things done. Smoothly and the right way[tm]. &quot;<p>Interesting then that their Q&amp;A page has been hammered to death by HN. What is this product? What does it do, apart from ipv6? What is the price?

Tried both gitlab and bitbucket as alternatives. Bibucket server is a-b-y-s-m-al. We use it at work and the UX is so clunky and backwards and for a solution that is intended for enterprise use, most of the logic in the UI&#x2F;UX seems to not be directed towards a multi-user environment at all. Bitbucket cloud is more or less the same experience.<p>Gitlab is known to be unstable and i&#x27;ll give it to them, the UI improved a bit lately, it&#x27;s still pretty bad and i wouldn&#x27;t say it&#x27;s very much oriented towards multi user collaboration. I think the main advantage of GitHub is that it was somewhat thought of as an open source hub&#x2F;portal. Where you have easy access to other projects you wouldn&#x27;t find without much of a hassle. They would just surface through the help of ratings (github stars).

Hm, I wouldn&#x27;t migrate my FOSS stuff to ungleich, simply because I don&#x27;t earn money with it and while I am willing to invest my free time I feel different on throwing money into it. (Company wise I can&#x27;t make the decision, but I suppose the benefit over our current git-on-NFS + bugzilla + custom distributed, reproducible build system would be negligible, especially given the price for the license).<p>With that said: What&#x27;s so much better about ungleich than rolling your own VM somewhere? For a hackathon and as an experiment I recently setup Gitlab on a fresh Arch Linux VM using the Arch gitlab package and setup was very easy. I suppose using the official way of installation makes it even easier. Do you keep the VM, OS and gitlab up-to-date? Do you do backups?

Not really an alternative I think. A VM needs management. The good thing about a cloud solution (like Github, Bitbucket) is somebody else is keeping the server up and secure.

Pressed &quot;Order Now&quot; but I get a 500 Internal Error!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.ungleich.ch&#x2F;shop&#x2F;product&#x2F;private-gitlab-hosting-12" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.ungleich.ch&#x2F;shop&#x2F;product&#x2F;private-gitlab-hosting...</a><p>&gt; Internal Server Error<p>&gt; The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

The site doesn&#x27;t work for me. I guess HN hug of death, in which case it doesn&#x27;t work as a Github alternative at all.
martimarkovabout 7 years ago
I think their comparison is wrong. In Gitlab you don&#x27;t need to pay per user. It&#x27;s free and the ppu plans are for paid features. Which you still need to pay for per user with the self-hosted solution. So they only provide a managed Gitlab Core installation. I don&#x27;t see any point of this. Like what am I missing here?

Why not run your own Git repository server with Gogs? It&#x27;s easy to install, lightweight and you own your data.

this is far from professional... the website has multiple test objects activated, dummy shop items, is poorly optimized, spelling errors all over the place. also this is far away from a github alternative... all you do is start a vm and run the installer script

500 when traffic spikes, and you have the guts to name this an alternative to GitHub? Hubris.

Your GitHub Alternative. Not free. DoS&#x27;ed since published in Hacker News.

Sorry for the short downtime, we just added some more cores to the system so it can handle the load a bit better.

So HN officially surpassed any slashdot traffic that we had so far - could say we just got hn&#x27;ed.

This is not an alternative, as this is paid. Both github and gitlab offer free versions.
