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.
