markup VS gitlab-foss

Btw github supports more than just markdown: https://github.com/github/markup#markups

I'm not sure 4. works for colors/styling, style attributes are stripped: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/119

I found this issue, which does not show much traction: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/994

For sharing settings and lore with players, GitHub wiki. Understands Org and several other formats thanks to GitHub Markup, so I can copy in (and trim down) my original notes without much fuss.

Re: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/533

I’m the main author of KeenWrite (see screenshots), a type of desktop Markdown editor that supports diagrams. It’s encouraging to see that Mermaid diagrams are being supported in GitHub. There are a few drawbacks on the syntax and implications of using MermaidJS.

First, only browser-based SVG renderers can correctly parse Mermaid diagrams. I’ve tested Apache Batik, svgSalamander, resvg, rsvg-convert, svglib, CairoSVG, ConTeXt, and QtSVG. See issue 2485. This implies that typesetting Mermaid diagrams is not currently possible. In effect, by including Mermaid diagrams, many documents will be restricted to web-based output, excluding the possibility of producing PDF documents based on GitHub markdown documents (for the foreseeable future).

Second, there are numerous text-to-diagram facilities available beyond Mermaid. The server at https://kroki.io/ supports Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz, byte fields, and many more. While including MermaidJS is a great step forward, supporting Kroki diagrams would allow a much greater variety. (Most diagrams produced in MermaidJS can also be crafted in Graphviz, albeit with less terse syntax.)

Third, see the CommonMark discussion thread referring to a syntax for diagrams. It’s unfortunate that a standard “namespace” concept was not proposed.

Fourth, KeenWrite integrates Kroki. To do so, it uses a variation on the syntax:

    ``` diagram-mermaid

I thought it only rendered files in the repo (match by extension). Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues?

* Note: Sadly, include is not supported on GH. https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095

* Gitlab EE (enterprise edition) is closed, but Gitlab CE (community edition) is open source (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/)

* I didn't follow the Gitea drama too closely, but my understanding is that Forgejo was a fork born out of that situation

* I've heard the SourceHut guy is a controversial figure, so avoiding it because of that isn't unreasonable. I will just say that "spite forks" tend not to last very long

Gitlab uses an UrlBlocker class to prevent malicious users from exploiting SSRF via the webhook URL. This class validates the URL and blocks everything which is a local network, but before the 11.5.1 version, they didn't think about an IPv6 format, which maps to IPv4: [0:0:0:0:0:ffff:127.0.0.1]. Replacing the part of 127.0.0.1 to any IP address also worked, and this vulnerability made it possible to send requests to the internal network of a GitLab instance. You can read the issue report here: (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/53242 )[https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/53242]

I recommend Auto DevOps and hooking your project up to the Kubernetes cluster. Auto DevOps is a standard CI/CD template that GitLab uses by default when .gitlab-ci.yml is not present. It can automatically package up certain types of applications, including those with a Dockerfile in the root of the repo. If the project is hooked up to a Kubernetes cluster and all the right variables are present, it builds that docker image and then fills in a Helm chart template containing that image and deploys it to the cluster.

Thanks. This was also requested for the UI 7 years ago

and then closed with the claim that this was implemented, when in fact, it was not.

Similar to fsync, these are designed to ensure data integrity, but in a test setup, they don't matter. You can read more about these in the Postgres doc on non-durability. and explore some benchmarks from Gitlab here. Interestingly, CircleCI's old Postgres images had these features disabled by default, but the newer ones don't seem to.

Most all of those things are possible with Argo Workflows or Tekton with very great effort. But a sustainable system with all the features built-in.

If you wish to clone a copy of GitLab without proprietary code, you can use the read-only mirror of GitLab located at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/. However, please do not submit any issues and/or merge requests to that project.

GitLab versions 10.7 and later, allow the HTTP(S) protocol for Git clone or fetch requests done by GitLab Runner from CI/CD jobs, even if you select Only SSH.

it sure does
