I wonder if using 'app-arch/dpkg' to just install the .deb files on gentoo |
| 17 |
would work? |
| 18 |
Issues with using dpkg to install gitlab on gentoo inside a VM/container ? |

Can you be more specific? Exactly which package(s) did you install this way? |
| 27 |
Is debian inside that LXC, or just pure gentoo? Are you using CI with this |
| 28 |
configuration? |

On a cluster would be my approach, after the installation issues are ironed |
| 37 |
out on a single server install. |

Is this the gogs package you installed:: www-apps/gogs [1] |
| 46 |
[1] "go-overlay" layman/go-overlay |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Or did you just use a SaaS/PaaS for Gogs....? |

| 54 |
And this runs on a gentoo server, with debian inside the LXC? Or on a debian |
| 55 |
machine with LXC? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Have you tried any VCS on a cluster (openstack/mesos/hadoop/others? |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
