What is GitLab CE?
GitLab is a complete DevOps platform: Git hosting, code review, CI/CD pipelines, container registry and issue tracking in one application.
Why you would run it
It gives an engineering team the whole delivery toolchain without stitching four services together. Self-hosting keeps source code and build secrets in-country.
Why run it in Rwanda
Because the alternative is a server in another country answering to another country's courts. Running GitLab CE in the Kigali or Huye region keeps the data on Rwandan infrastructure, under Rwandan law, invoiced in Rwandan francs and payable by mobile money. Your users in Rwanda reach it over a local path instead of a round trip to Europe, and the second region is 2.2 ms away for replicas and backups. Close enough to replicate against, far enough apart to survive an incident.
How to get started
- Open the console. Sign in at platform.gewape.cloud. New accounts can be created there.
- Pick the region. Kigali or Huye. Both run the same platform, so the choice is about where you want the data and which one is your second copy.
- Choose GitLab CE and a plan. Start at g1.xlarge; you can resize later without rebuilding.
- Launch it. The server builds and configures itself, then hands you the admin URL and credentials , usually within 6 minutes.

Questions
Can I run GitLab CE on a server in Rwanda?
Yes. It deploys into the Kigali or Huye region on hardware we own, and the data stays in the country. The smallest plan that runs it comfortably is g1.xlarge, 8 vCPU, 16 GB.
How much does it cost?
You pay for the server, not the software. GitLab CE starts from RWF 318,000 a month on g1.xlarge, invoiced in Rwandan francs with no egress fees. Larger plans are available and you can resize without rebuilding.
How long does it take to be running?
Typically 6 minutes from launching it to receiving the admin URL and credentials. No ticket, no provisioning queue.
Do I get root access?
Yes. It is your server. You get full root access, your own firewall rules, and the ability to install anything else alongside it.
