Lots of layoffs (“re-evaluating our operational footprint”) and switching to “agentic” processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

    Can you clarify something about self-hosting for me please. If I want to collaborate with other people on self-hosted a git repo, do I need to have a static IP or a router device that is compatible with services like noip, and open up ports which opens up my local network to constant attacks from outside it?

      It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps.
