Support

If you have any questions or you are experiencing problems, please send a service request here: servicedesk.aalto.fi.

Limitations

  • Use space prudently for storing source code only. If you have to store binary files in your repository, use the Git LFS tool.
  • Basic features for projects and source code repositories are supported
    • No support for Gitlab Pages or Container registries. Use Gitlab.com or Github for the Pages functionality. We recommend using Azure services for a container register.
    • CI/CD is enabled, but not supported: you will have to install and maintain your own Gitlab Runners to use this feature. You can try another service for more convenient approach: Gitlab.com Shared Runners, Github Actions, Azure DevOps pipelines and Heroku among others.
  • Service can't handle a change in employment status (student/staff or organization change), but account could get blocked, contact [email protected] if that happens
