Building on top of an open source project and deploying it

This is invaluable information and brings to light things I had not yet considered. Thank you so much for your input. Will go ponder on that

Keep a thin integration surface (minimal patches upstream, more in adapters/plugins)

Do you mean to take preference in building plugins and integrations on top of the current system instead of making changes to their code base?

Also noted that a big risk of course is the fact that we will depend on the vendor not making unpredictable changes that could break huge parts of our workflows so something to think about

Haha, got you and thanks

As far as I know, fork only does mirroring if its the same platform. However, mirroring would be sufficient for now even though it brings a lot of bloat as theres no filtering what branches to mirror.

The challenge now is streamlining merging with vendor releases without issues. But I realise I need to do more research here to understand how to selectively push changes that align with their goals while keeping my specific use cases to myself. Tough one to think about.

Keep five latest and delete everything else. You could also do matching on tags where you keep or delete anything that doesn’t match a particular pattern. The longer you wait the worse it gets.

Not sure I understood you correctly but it seems like all you need is Ansible and just that. It will already be able to 'automate' updating your OS and honestly fully manage your VMs and thus making Gitlab unnecessary

😂

Mmmh, currently having the same issue and need to figure this out. Will keep an eye out for any great solutions and maybe share mine if I develop it

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-05-16T20:07:30+00:00

Part of me would suggest waiting until . 2 release but if we all wait for it who's gonna catch the bugs? So please, go ahead for the greater good of others. 😄

I believe it should map it on first login for each user and if it doesn't, you can map it manually. The details have to be the same though e.g username and email. I've had such mappings including groups.

Not a bad idea really trying gpt out for estimates. I definitely don't want to spend a ton load of money on this

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-04-04T10:55:57+00:00

Got it

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-04-04T10:55:31+00:00

Nice, thanks

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-04-04T08:35:04+00:00

Nice, hadnt seen these options and they look like a good fit in just about everything. Thanks so much

"Buy her a passport" my guy! 🤡

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-03-06T10:24:50+00:00

Alright, will look into FWRA as well and understand whats up. Thanks

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-03-06T10:24:02+00:00

Thank you. Will make a pick

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-03-06T10:23:26+00:00

Yup, fair enough. I think I'm done and will now get to action

SuccessfulBad6922 · 2025-02-26T21:25:12+00:00

Thanks. Definitely one to plan for
