Originally rigging gitlab-ce took a couple of hours, including standing up a VM, and setting up an S3 bucket for fire storage.

Checking backups once a week, 3 min.

Updates twice a month (using apt-get upgrade) 10 min counting integrity checks.

Nuisance factor: updating gitlab-ce drops a tiny little backup file in the backups folder.

If you want to skip the mini backup before upgrades, run:

`sudo touch /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-migrations`
