I know the Gentoo Infra team has had negative experiences with hosting
just about anything Java and don't want to go near it. I don't know
if that is based on specific experiences with GitLab or with just
avoidance with Java in general. Most of the competing solutions in
this space are also Java-based which is why we don't host any kind of
alternative to Github.
So, take that as a data point or not as you wish. Certainly
interested to hear what others have found.
One thing I might suggest if there are concerns with maintenance of
Java is that you try to containerize it as much as possible. Put
Gitlab and its dependencies in a container. Use config management to
carefully track what need to be changed above the baseline to get it
working. Put all the storage on mounts hosted outside the container
and bind/network mount them into the container. Then if things get
out of hand in updates/etc you can just build a new Gitlab container
on each update, apply configuration and mounts, and then test it out.
You could make everything Gitlab depends on essentially disposable
that way.
