can anyone offer me good deal for gitlab instance

seenuseenu Member
in Offers

Hello,

i am about to end service with netcup and looking for a good deal for gitlab, which is becoming hungry for resources.

so i am looking for vps with
min. 4 cores
min. 6gb ram
120GB SSD

kvm is better
and EU is preferable but USA also fine.

thanks.

    are you friend of @Jar ? Looks familiar.

    try Gitea instead - less resource hungry

    i thought of moving to Gitea earlier but now CI of gitlab is game changer for me so i would stick with it only.

    No love for Jenkins or drone.io? I honestly find both to be better than Gitlab.

  • seenuseenu Member

    jenkins is good , never tried drone.io

    but with gitlab, everything in single location and i customized gitlab CI for my dev requirements now if i move to other service...need to find workarounds again.

  • seenuseenu Member

    i don't understand why no one is offering bigger vps plans.... all are targetting 512mb/1gb plans and personally i don't know what to do with them :(

    If 6gb ram is your minimum, a Netcup VPS might be ideal value for money.

    Are you planning on running CI runners on same host? Then pick a RootServer instead.

  • seenuseenu Member

    yes i want to run on same host.

    i am already having their RootServer (which i am ending now) because it is having HDD, i am looking SSD.

    after shifting from SSD to HDD i can see my gitlab is damn slow.

    What is your budget?

    @AlexBarakov

    no idea exactly but willing to pay around $80/yr.

    thanks.

    IMO, The problem is the number of cores in your request .

    Else, use some cheap 1GB+ssd KVMs for runners. (one-off jobs that rarely peg the cpu.) and get a 2 core 4GB KVM-ssd for Gitlab.

    Try a provider with 3Ghz+ E3 cores. Gitlab is ruby single thread limited too, after disk IO latency.

    Oh thanks for the tip, do you recommend any?

  • seenuseenu Member

    @vimalware i forgot to inform you.

    since hipchat is dissolving, i am thinking of using mattermost bundled with gitlab for about 15users.

  • AlexBarakovAlexBarakov Member, Patron Provider

    problem is your budget as well, 120GB SSD is expensive in a VM

    ok.... whats the best you can give on yearly payment?

    along with specs i mentioned, i may need 1 or 2 extra ips aswell.

    thanks.

    IIRC first-root had a nice 140GB ssd KVM with 4GB ram. Check if the ping is normal http://lg.first-root.com
