I also really like Gitlab but the self-hosted instance I manage broke twice in the last month due to faulty updates :-/.

First, the automatic notification e-mails stopped working until I did another upgrade. A later update broke issue merging: merging one merge request closed all work requests (event the ones with WIP).

If you also consider the sudden removal of the backlog from the issue board a while ago (they added it back since), I'm now afraid to update our Gitlab instance.

This is very unfortunate because Gitlab is a very nice and useful tool but if QA doesn't improve, it will be very difficult to prevent a migration. These problems are show stoppers for us.

My Gitlab instance broke 3 times in 5 months, and my questions/issues haven't been answered. I had to manage to backup my data, fully uninstall Gitlab and reinstall it. I then hosted it on a dedicated server using docker and it has been running much better since then.

We run Gitlab in an LXD container with an Omnibus install. Everything works pretty well but those issues were caused by regressions in updates. There were new updates fixing those regressions within a few days but it still caused us quite a few headaches.
