OK, so however thought up the structure of the #Gitlab helm chart was ... creative, to put it politely.

The chart itself has dependencies, as is common with helm charts.
But it also has a charts directory, which contains 5 other charts. Including one called gitlab.
Which again has a charts directory as well as dependencies.

So, depending on which chart you want to configure, it might be chart-name.something or gitlab.chart-name.something. Oh, they also use global.something or global.chart-name.something.

And as this is not creative enough, some charts are installed if chart-name.install is true. For some it is chart-name.enabled...

But help is near, there is an operator, that does the heavy lifting for you. Oh wait, it uses the values from the helm chart of its CRD...

I have to reference #gitlab merge request and issue numbers a lot while doing dev stuff for #postmarketOS and #alpinelinux (like for giving to our mrtest tool), so I made a simple bookmarklet that will copy this number to my clipboard:

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/-/snippets/10

Bookmarklets are neat!

Tried to login to #Gitlab today. The OTP code they sent to my email (which landed in Spam) didn't work and further login attempts, the code never arrived and now my account is locked, even if logging in through GitHub, etc, and the login page for their Zendesk also doesn't load for me to submit a ticket, so that's fun. I'm remembering again why I opted for deploying #Forgejo over it.

Over the coming months I will move all my personal and private repositories from #GitHub and #GitLab to #Codeberg. I run many static sites and intend to use https://ci.codeberg.org to trigger the builds.

Once this process is finished and everything works fine with #forgejo. I will also migrate the repos of my company #MintSystem to https://www.codey.ch/. As there are some GitHub integrations I can't get rid of, I intend to mirror back the repos.

I'll keep you updated via #CodebergMigration.

Cool. 20th anniversary of #git and #GitLab celebrated with an interview with Linus Torvalds: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2025/04/07/celebrating-gits-20th-anniversary-with-creator-linus-torvalds/

OK everyone, I did it. I started a blog. It has a welcome post and a small tip on sorting your emails from Git forges. More to come soon. Feel free to check it out!

#heptapod 17.9.0 released, featuring #gitlab 17.9 and Mercurial 7.0 Changelog: https://foss.heptapod.net/heptapod/heptapod/-/blob/heptapod-17.9.0/HEPTAPOD_CHANGELOG.md Download instructions: https://heptapod.net/pages/get-heptapod.html#get-heptapod #git

Gerade mal das OS unseres #GitLab Servers von Ubuntu 20.04 auf Debian 12 gewechselt.

Dank #Docker in ca. 1 Stunde komplett fertig.

So muss das!

Many universities and research institutes have their own #Gitlab or #Gitea instances, which is a good thing. But are there any plans for these instances to be federated ? It's a bit cumbersome to open a new account on a new instance every time I want to collaborate on a project. #openscience

Why does #gitlab make you authenticate. each. and. every. time?

Currently documenting: custom fields in GitLab issues, epics, etc. I don't think this screenshot would pass peer review

Ich weiss, es gibt viele #GitHub und #GitLab Alternativen. Einige kenne ich auch schon. Aber, welche in Deutschland(!) oder auch AT gehosteten Git Alternativen wuerdet ihr empfehlen? Muss nicht unbedingt kostenlos sein, sollte halt nur da gehostet werden.

Gerne boosten/teilen.
