I maintain a set of Chef cookbooks (more Ruby, I'm afraid ;)) that includes a cookbook for GitLab[1]. The cookbook may not be the best, but it has been serving us well. There are numerous other Chef cookbooks for GitLab.

IMHO GitLab is easy to set up compared to something like Postfix. Making a GitLab server do what it's supposed to do is straightforward. You just follow all the steps. Making Postfix work as a proper mail server is kinda a mess.

Heh, I feel exactly the opposite.
