Their installation instructions try hard to scare you away from self-hosting and installation from source, but I think that's more to keep non-sysadmins from shooting themselves in the foot than it is to do with inherent complexity. A guix package[1] of course would be the bee's knees. :) GitLab's OAuth2 authentication and GitHub (and other) import facilities ease integration with those clinging to their GitHub or other 'social' accounts. Zwets [1] I've been dying to make one as I'm stuck at GitLab 8.14 due to version dependencies in 8.15+ that aren't in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. My servers run Ubuntu LTS, with Guix for out-of-distro packages. I lack the time and guixperience to do this right now but will gladly share notes and help out if someone takes this on.
