Gitlab VM to LXC migration

Bit of a show & tell.

Moved my gitlab install from a debian VM to a debian LXC to reduce memory overhead. Top is a VM, bottom is the LXC.

Note that about half the 8gb is caching so depending on how you look at it perhaps not 1:1 comparable.

Wouldn't read too much into the CPU usage numbers...it's just timing of screenshot.

edit: worth pointing out that to make gitlab play nice under lxc requires settings that are tangibly less isolated than a VM. So this entire thing is probably a bad idea if you're not inside a walled garden LAN where everything is trusted. Also if this comment drops below top of pile pls upvote to keep it essentially pinned for context...else the screenshot just doesn't make sense

Setting up CI/CD for .NET Core in Docker?
Basically we are doing nearly the same. What we are doing: dotnet build, publish and restore is within the dockerfile and not within the CI (speeds up CI and also better for layer caching). We’re also only using the MS dotnet core image for building the app, after the image is builded we use Debian buster slim as multi stage final Image. This is also best practice to keep images slim and also from security perspective bcs then u know what is installed inside your image. https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/ Why u need a web hook for deploying?
