To install gitlab:
Done.
maybe the installation is simple, but the whole thing is still a beast and has tons of different services and does a lot of stuff. i prefer forgejo because of it's simplicity (still not super easy) and it takes less resources.
I used it for a while. It eats up half your server just by existing ^^is a good system for the time, but now we have better alternatives.
