GitLab is a popular git repo platform with integrated CI and whatnot. It can be self-hosted.

Annoying limitations:

• Limited to 50 tags per runner (issue)
• Constant breakage, no stable interfaces, e.g. CI_BUILD_TOKEN removal, see docs
• Random deprecation of stuff, e.g. CMD shell to be replaced by PowerShell
• Requires constant patching, I'd NOT recommended to host a publically available GitLab instance.
• Support, is there support? So far all customer issues that would be relevant to me are simply not addressed

How do people cope with these things?
