• Announcing GitHub:FI

    pjhyett 1 Jun 2009

    We’re excited to announce the launch of Logical Awesome’s latest product: GitHub:Firewall Install

    What Is it?

    GitHub:FI is a version of GitHub that can be installed within your own private network. This product is ideal for your company if you wish to enjoy the benefits of GitHub, but are unable to do so because of corporate restrictions or laws that prevent you from hosting your code with a third-party service.

    How Does It Work?

    We’ve partnered with BitRock, the packaging and deployment specialists, to create a comprehensive installer and to deliver seamless product updates. Together, we’ve managed to make the installation process as painless as possible: download the installer, answer a few questions, and your internal GitHub stack is running in about 10 minutes. It’s really that simple!

    We currently only support Linux-based operating systems, but we may add additional support based upon demand.

    How Did We Build It?

    The FI stack is remarkably similar to the one in use at GitHub.com. The primary difference is that the FI source code is compiled and run with JRuby inside of a Jetty container instead of our normal Ruby/Mongrel stack. Beyond that, FI looks and acts just like the site you’ve come to know and love. You’ll still benefit from the same robust, scalable architecture that powers GitHub.com, which means you never have to worry about how many users your FI install can handle (we handle nearly 100,000).

    How Much Does It Cost?

    GitHub:FI pricing is quoted individually per installation based on your company’s needs and support requirements. Please keep in mind that FI is priced competitively with other internal code management solutions and is well over the cost of our most-expensive hosted plan.

    What About Support?

    We provide two levels of support: Standard and Premium. Standard support is included free-of-charge for the first year of service, providing Help Desk support, Email support, and Knowledge Base access. Premium support comes at an additional cost and provides your company the ability to get in touch with our technical staff over the phone. If you encounter a problem that is inherent in the product, we’ll do everything in our power to respond immediately, regardless of support plan. Other issues are prioritized and addressed accordingly.

    I Want to Get a Quote!

    Head to http://fi.github.com for additional information, a screencast detailing the installation and features of GitHub:FI, and to request a quote for your company!

    Congratulations on the new product, folks, I'm thrilled that it's running on JRuby and immediately thought of my past employers and the hassle they had administering SCM. It's an excellent idea.

    technomancy Tue Jun 02 09:46:24 -0700 2009

    Great job. I know a lot of people have been wanting this.

    Curious how the JRuby port went; did you have to alter the codebase much to make it work?

    leandrosilva Tue Jun 02 09:57:56 -0700 2009

    That's great guys!!!

    Good luck =)

    FYI, the 877.GITHUB.1 number you list on the site says it's disconnected :(

    supaspoida Tue Jun 02 12:25:38 -0700 2009

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but is this strictly for use behind the firewall? Or could you use it as part of a larger service and expose it to people remotely? Can it be custom branded?

    webandy Tue Jun 02 12:30:29 -0700 2009

    This makes a lot of sense and I think is a great case for JRuby. I also think it is interesting github chose to partner with BitRock, this is an interesting service that could be of use to lots of web application providers that might want to support behind the firewall and hosted distribution.

    bjeanes Tue Jun 02 19:04:31 -0700 2009

    You say that it is well over the cost of the most expensive hosted plan. Those plans are monthly fees though. Is FI a monthly fee or do you mean something like it is well over the cost of a month of the highest plan? A year? A lifetime?

    cheapRoc Tue Jun 02 19:40:06 -0700 2009

    Interested to hear about all the wonderful gem's you guys are distributing all "bundled" up as well or the licenses of those... but I'm sure you guys are 1337 h4x0rs enough to just rewrite them all as "Github Flavored".

    Personally, I'll stick with Gitorious and try to submit bugs and features to the open source project for the community, which interestingly enough, you guys host! :D

    Looking forward to it -- this sounds exactly what the company I work for is looking for. Github, but internal. Perfect. Great idea & perfect timing!

    X.25 was independent of the TCP/IP protocols that arose from the experimental work of DARPA on the ARPANET, Packet Radio Net and Packet Satellite Net during the same time period. Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn developed the first description of the TCP protocols during 1973 and published a paper on the subject in May 1974. Use of the term "Internet colocation" to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated in December 1974 with the publication of RFC 675, the first full specification of TCP that was written by Vinton Cerf, Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine, then at Stanford University. During the next nine years, work proceeded to refine the protocols and to implement them on a wide range of operating systems. The first TCP/IP-based wide-area network linux hosting was operational by January 1, 1983 when all hosts on the ARPANET were switched over from the older NCP protocols. In 1985, the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) commissioned the construction of the NSFNET, a university 56 kilobit/second network backbone using computers called "fuzzballs" by their inventor, David L. Mills. The following year, NSF sponsored the conversion to a higher-speed 1.5 megabit/second network. A key decision to use the DARPA TCP/IP protocols was made by Dennis Jennings, then in charge of the Supercomputer program at NSF.The opening of the network to commercial interests began in 1988. The US Federal Networking Council approved the interconnection of the NSFNET to the commercial MCI Mail system in that year and the link was made in the summer of 1989. Other commercial electronic cheap vps e-mail services were soon connected, including OnTyme, Telemail and Compuserve. In that same year, three commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) were created: UUNET, PSINet and CERFNET. Important, separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged with, the Internet include Usenet and BITNET. Various other commercial and educational networks, such as Telenet, Tymnet, Compuserve and JANET were interconnected with the growing Internet. Telenet (later called Sprintnet) was a large privately funded national computer network with free dial-up access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation since the 1970s. This network was eventually interconnected with the others in the 1980s as the TCP/IP protocol became increasingly popular. The ability of TCP/IP to work over virtually hosting reseller any pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth, although the rapid growth of the Internet was due primarily to the availability of an array of standardized commercial routers from many companies, the availability of commercial Ethernet equipment for local-area networking, and the widespread implementation and rigorous standardization of TCP/IP on UNIX and virtually every other common operating system.

    Good job on releasing GitHub:FI, I am sure this will come in handy for many people, myself included. I will pass the details on to my company, it's maybe something they would look at implementing.
