I switched to gogs from GitLab and haven't looked back. The installation literally took 10 minutes including all of the sysadmin work.

Main reason was the resource utilization of GitLab was just too high. iirc, it was actually the CEO of GitLab that recommended the switch... ;)

Yes, if you are resource constrained (less than 2GB of memory) and using it privately I think Gogs is a great choice.

Has been so far, thanks again for the recommendation!

Sorry, but even with 2GB Gitlab is painfully slow. And it also happens on gitlab.com where I assume resources are optimized. Loading times of up to 3 seconds for a stupid list of issues are not really acceptable for a web application in 2016. In fact, they never were.
