onedev VS gitaly

I'm going to plug https://onedev.io/ its awesome. Its self hosted and has its own tooling for CI/CD. I feel it doesn't get enough love, but I've been using it for years for my own stuff.

I started to develop OneDev (https://onedev.io) since 2013 as an open source project in my spare time. To sustain long-term development of the project, an enterprise edition was released last month, and today it welcomed the first commercial customer. Not a very successful project from monetization point of view, but I enjoyed all the trips developing and maintaining it.

An option I don't see often brought up but I use it myself and love it is https://github.com/theonedev/onedev. It has its own CICD implementation along with a visual interface to configure the tasks. The developers are very responsive when issues are reported, and it has a very good code search engine with symbol recognition.

https://leantime.io/ And https://onedev.io/ (if you want ci/cd as well)

OneDev supports projects.

> Gitaly is a Git RPC service for handling all the git calls made by GitLab

So I think this means that a major piece of gitlab now supports sha256 git repos? But probably not everything and therefore we can't actually push sha256 git repos to gitlab yet?

With https transport, the webserver can make a simple database call (or hit a cache) to check your authorization, and then make your git operation call. No exec need.

There are things where libgit2 is faster than git, and there are things libgit2 can't do. Here is a brief note from another discussion:

Not easily, because their storage backend requires computing.

You might have trademark issues with Gitlab's Gitaly https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly

Yeah, they use a thing they built themselves called gitaly: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly
