dev.gitlab.org Service

This is an internal GitLab instance running GitLab CE. The omnibus-gitlab package on this server is a GitLab CE package with required configuration to keep it operational. Regular omnibus-gitlab commands can be used on this node.

Although the environment has dev in its domain name, don’t refer to it as dev, since that could be confused with a local development environment.

The main uses for the .org environment:

  • Building official artifacts
  • Providing build isolation for SOX compliance (located on different instance and infrastructure)
  • Certifying SBOM and provenance
  • Controlling publishing of releases
  • Controlling synchronization with Canonical after publishing
  • Ensuring the ability to release GitLab for Self-Managed customers in case of a total outage of GitLab.com
