Get in touch for a customized plan.
We keep your server up to date
We will install and manage your server
using Puppet, which means
your system will be managed automatically by us. This way, we
ensure your Gitorious server runs a current version of
Gitorious. This includes data migrations that need to be
performed, and the installation of additional system services
and libraries when required.
We keep your server running
We install and configure the Monit monitoring tool on the
server, which will keep all the Gitorious components running at
all times, as long as the host system is operational and
connected to the network.
Reduced consulting rates
Hire the Gitorious team to customize your installation, develop new
features or provide Git training. Paying customers get unlimited
consulting at a $20 hourly
discount.

FAQ
- How do you install Gitorious on my network?
- We use Puppet to configure and maintain
your server, so your server needs to connect to our Puppetmaster server
to fetch configuration from that. We will provide a single IP address and port
required to do so.
Furthermore, in order to work effectively with your server, we need direct
access over SSH. We will
provide a single SSH public key and a static IP from which connections
will originate.
- Can I add custom features at a later point?
- Most certainly. As a Gitorious local install customer, you have
access to the Gitorious core team at reduced consulting
rates. This offer can be utilized at any point to add new
features, prioritize certain fixes or further customize your
install.
- What am I paying for?
- The fee we charge for Gitorious local install
is not a license fee. In fact, Gitorious is and
will always be Free Software, and you can
run it entirely on your own
, free of charge. However, buying Gitorious local install from
Gitorious AS, allows you to trust us to keep your Gitorious
running, solve any problems that may occur, and take care of
upgrades and support. Gitorious local install is hassle-free Git
hosting for your company.
- What do I need to know about the virtual appliance and its services?
- The virtual appliance is designed to be self-sustaining and
zero-maintenance. In case of a power outage or other problems with the
host OS, all services will resume normal operation when the host is back
up. In case of service disruption we will promptly assist you in getting
things back up.
- Do you support Redhat Enterprise Linux?
- Since CentOS is based on RHEL, we fully support using that
instead of CentOS, provided you purchase licenses for RHEL and perform a basic
operating system installation on your server.
- What are the technical specs for the virtual appliance?
-
Our stock offering consists of
VMDK files
that work well with VMware, Virtualbox and other virtualization
technologies. The virtual appliance is based the CentOS
operating system (5.x at the
time of writing). If your needs are not covered by this setup, get in touch, and we will work something out.
Technical requirements for your hardware will vary depending on
the number of users and level of activity. We recommend at least
4GB of RAM, dual core CPU and as much disk as needed. We can
help further refine these requirements based on your specific
needs.
- Can I integrate Gitorious with proprietary system X?
- Most certainly. If your existing workflow is centered around an issue
tracker or wiki, your users are managed centrally by an LDAP server or
you have any other needs to use existing systems we can help you
integrate Gitorious with them.
- When will my local install be ready?
- Depending on the work required to
get your server(s) ready, most new setups are completed within a week of
ordering. Customizations (e.g. UI adjustments for your company,
and so on) as well as new/modified features for your setup may
take longer, depending on the amount of development needed.
We will provide a plan for implementing Gitorious in your organization,
along with estimates of the work required to get you up and running.
