The enterprise version is just as slow.

I thought they're only struggling with the free public version, but no. GitLab run on a private box is the same bag of lags and loading spinners.

I'm not talking about GitLab enterprise vs. GitLab free. It's about GitLab vs small projects like Gitea / Forgejo mentioned in the parent comment.

"It's enterprise" it's such a lame excuse, IMO. There shouldn't be a speed tax, especially if you aren't using the "enterprise" features. We need to stop making excuses for bad software. It's 2026 we have insanely powerful computers, why should I have to wait to get the result of searching a few text-only issues or display a diff?

Yea, I run my own gitea in the basement proxmox box to have a decent performance. Page load times are <30ms

Curious, why not use docker?

I like LXC containers and how they integrate with PBS.
