We are running GitLab CE via the “omnibus” (what ever this is) Debian package since it’s availability in May 2015. Due to GitLab’s version policy we are constantly upgrading our installation. However, we only ran into minor problems with this approach. Recent examples are:
- Backup broke (workaround available, fixed after two days)
- Admin page broke (workaround available)
What gives me confidence in our setup are the very short reaction times on the GitLab bug tracker. This includes fast fixes via new versions and the availability of workarounds. However, for more critical infrastructure it would be wise to delay non-critical updates for some weeks.
