I run GitLab on my development VPS and use it for all my projects (and everything to do with them, including client interaction via the wall and issues). It's quite brilliant.

I nearly decided to hack in a Public Mode myself last year, I'm glad it's finally implemented!

This has prompted me into getting back to work on my KanBan SPA, that hooks into GitLabs issues api. I do wish they gave the api a bit more love in this release, but I can't really complain: My $20/m VPS gives me self-hosted Github, Dropbox, and Gmail/Gcal/Contacts "clones". Not bad!

GitLab replaces GitHub, but ...

what gives you the dropbox functionality? (alternatives I'm familiar with are sparkeleshare and seafile, but neither works as well as dropbox)

what gives you the gmail/gcal/contacts functionality? specifically, do you have good iphone sync?

I use ownCloud!

It has a CalDAV and CardDAV server, works perfectly with the iphone. It also has file sync built in, which replaces Dropbox for me. :)

What do you use for the webmail/calendaring/contacts?
Re:GitLab v4.1 released by speakr on Tuesday January 22, 2013 @10:09AM (#5097422)
For webmail I can recommend roundcube + dovecot, for calendaring/contacts davical has all I need.

Yep, roundcube, integrated into ownCloud for CalDAV/CardDAV

I'd love to hear more about the 'Dropbox clone' you're using here. The idea of keeping a VPS around as my own private cloud is something I've been thinking about for a while; I'm very interested to learn from someone who's already done it.

Could possibly be Sparkleshare[1] which uses Git as the underlying sync technology, especially if he has already got git set up.

Like I said in reply to someone else, ownCloud works perfectly for me. Syncing apps for Linux and Mac OS X, web access on my tablet, Android client, and I think iphone is either out now or very near. Check it out!
