Can I self host gitlab gold with my 20 opensource projects but with 2 non-opensource because these are my experiments with stuff I dont want to show and get indexed by search engines?

@sytse: congratulations on that move :)

Courtland from GitLab here. GitLab hosts the gold plan on GitLab.com, but GitLab Ultimate has comparable features and you can self-host that. Both GitLab Gold and GitLab Ultimate are free for open source maintainers. I could see why you (and other open source maintainers) would also need a private project or two. I'll get that discussion going internally at GitLab.

Do you know that gitlab.com already offers free private repos ? If you do, what are the features from this gold version that you are currently missing with the free version ?

I think it's a question of does signing up for gold for open source repos exhaust his free repos from the base version?

Definitely not. Presumably the gold subscription would be associated with a group for your open source projects, and your personal private projects would be completely separate (and free, just with Core functionality).

Yes, I know. I started using gitlab.com in 2014, I have there all my projects, my side projects, failed startup, assignments from uni, notes from lectures and own experiments, CV in Latex etc. Some of them I keep private, some of them are opensource. I enjoy hosting things myself, so my question is basically, can I replicate gitlab.com for my opensource projects, but keep privacy of my existing private projects.
