> Phabricator should be reasonably easy to self-host anyway.

It's a bit of a mixed bag compared to other self-hostable applications. There are a lot of moving parts, and the initial setup requires 60 different unique databases. It has a handful of background daemon-like processes that occasionally get wedged.

But, overall, there are some really interesting pieces of architecture in it, it's a really big project, and it does a lot of things pretty well.

I'm sad but not surprised to see this news.

5-10ish years ago I stood up both gitlab and phabricator. The latter was much easier. I really, really liked phabricator, though much of it's advantages went away when using DVCS; for SVN, it's command line tools were just a joy to use by comparison.
