I was actually just thinking about how this clone would make a good blog post pointing out the pain that hovers around many substantial ruby/rails projects versus other tool sets. To be able to download the binary and just run a web app ... amazing. Considering the last time I tried to run Gitlab all kinds of libraries didn't install properly and workers wouldn't come up when they were supposed to.

Rails apps are indeed a pain to install, that is why we made packages https://www.gitlab.com/downloads/ with Omnibus, we don't have a blog post about it but there is a video discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTmpKudd-Oo
