  • Non-free obfuscated code cannot be included in the community edition unfortunately. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/blob/master/LICE... The architecture in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/spamcheck#architecture-diagram shows the spam detection, where the ML training models remain obfuscated to not give spammers an advantage.

    You can run EE without license, it provides the same features as CE. Maybe that is an option for you: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/package/convert_to_ee.html I've created an MR to help clarify the docs: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/81751

  • Wait a sec... this is from the feature request[1]:

    > Just because I don't think I said it explicitly anywhere above: Because we are using an obfuscated, non-free component (the preprocessor), we can't include spamcheck in CE (users of CE expect no proprietary code to be included in the pacakge), but only in EE.

    So... is it available in the current version of gitlab-ce or not? I don't want to waste time trying to get it running only to find out you've only made it available for enterprise editions and gitlab.com.

  • Gogs

    Gogs is a painless self-hosted Git service

  • It looks like gogs only requires 512MB. It might be a better choice for resource constrained environments.
