GitLab (InHouse Server)

Advantages Managed Hosting InHouse

• Stepless control over hardware limits
• No limitation (e.g. number of accesses, data volumes, users etc.)
• Monthly budget is within a manageable range
• Saving internal resources. Relief of the own IT department

A regularly maintained server usually runs more stable and secure. However, in many companies, the time to carry out these important maintenance tasks regularly and, above all, in a prompt way usually fails. We take over this service for you.

It's very simple

You allocate us a Linux server instance:

• physical server or virtual instance
• this is located either in your company or in an external data center of your choice

With our operating package we ensure that:

• GitLab runs stable and performant on your own server
• and the costs are within the range that can be planned.

We take over for you

• Professional installation and setup, as well as operational provision of the GitLab Application on the server
• Implementation and maintenance of the update management for the underlying Linux operating system, GitLab instance
• Automatic, real-time security updates of the operating system and GitLab during operation.
• Backup creation, Operation and fault clearance
• Provision of management access (administrator authorization for GitLab)

Optional

• Support and individual services (remote)

Technical support regarding the care of the server environment (in case of malfunctions and failures) are usually included in the monthly package price. Not included are development services, consulting, user support or other (configuration) services that go beyond the technical support of the server. As well as post installation / activation of additional functionality, AddOns, Plugins, Libraries etc. Extra costs are charged for these services. A claim to support services in this context does not exist.
The operation of additional software that requires root permission for installation or operation is fundamentally not possible.

GitLab (Cloud Server)

A cloud solution is an option for you if the server does not have to be located at your company. Benefit directly from our reliable and powerful cloud services.

Depending on your needs and requirements, we have different packages on offer.
