I use Gitlab CE in my company, and it runs smoothly.
Especially thanks for the painless upgrade script.
I have one question about the UI, your default font color (light gray) and size is sometimes too hard to read, could you add more themes to customize them?
I second this; while Dokku sounds like a great way to ship your own fleet of applications (Heroku style), I'm not sure I see any benefit in using it to deploy GitLab. There are already images working on the main cloud providers and it seems to me a bit overkill for something you'd update once every few months at best.
Git does not require a singular centralized repository and embraces decentralization. I like how hosting your own repository is embraced by the overall design of git. "Host your own Github" should most definitely be the norm vs having a github/sourceforge/google code that everyone relies on being up. I wish that everyone running their own repositories while pulling directly from others was the defacto standard, that way no one can use the excuse "$repository / $service is down I'll submit it later".
While I agree with the sentiment, I think having a centralised repository, such as Github, creates a more social environment for sharing projects. If everyone had their own "Github", I can imagine the sharing and collaboration of open source projects would become more difficult to manage.
Unless of course there was a service that, while didn't host Git repositories, did everything else that Github offers.
.. unless the social machinery were also decentralised?
(To a certain extent, this is true of the environment git was born to serve, Linux kernel development; the social environment was the linux-kernel mailing list)
I like the idea of hosting my own web-accessible repository, but am most familiar with Mercurial. Does GitLab support non-Git repositories, or is there an alternative that does?
Gitlab seems to be another one of those "half-open" source projects where an arbitrary set of features is only available in the "Enterprise" edition. - https://www.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/
GitLab B.V. CEO here. You are correct that we have a community and enterprise version of the software. The vast majority of features is available in the community version https://www.gitlab.com/gitlab-ce-features/ and many organizations run it with thousands of users.

Ignore them?
Can be provisioned on any supported Vagrant destination, not only ours.
