On: Ask HN: Is S3 down?

GitLab Pages [0] is pretty good for static websites IMO, you can use GitLab CI to build more complex sites as well [1].

Disclosure: I work for GitLab

Slightly related, FYI all of the package downloads for Gitlab are timing out with a 504 error from Cloudfront ("Cloudfront is having difficulty accessing S3". The registry is also showing an error.

I'm trying to downgrade to an older version because our install is not working but can't get the DEB unfortunately.

Looks like it's back up now, sorry about that :(

GitLab really needs to provide a way to force HTTPS for domains that have it set up. I have to manually link with `https://` everywhere.

Yeah, we've wanted that ourselves. There's an issue for it, but it's not scheduled yet. If you know Go, feel free to take a crack at it :)

I would say use CloudFlare, but...
