**Note**: The Self-Managed Offering actually has two flavors (at least historically): Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). At one time this was an important distinction, and I'm not sure if it is anymore. I think we're using CE for code.jlab.org. This has to do with licensing of course, and potentially some features. So the confusing thing is, CE is always Free Tier, but EE could be any Tier. And if you install EE with Free Tier, you could somewhat more easily upgrade without re-installing everything. Not so with CE. GitLab may have re-aligned CE (Free) and EE Free to match 1-to-1 on features now to make this less confusing. But I'm not sure.

# Avatars / Images
In GitLab, Projects, Users, and Groups can all be configured with avatars (a profile image). A good source of these is Emoji's that have been converted to images since these have fewer distribution restrictions, plus you can then generally easily maintain your project branding in Markdown files using GitLab's built-in emoji's. In particular, Microsoft provides SVG images of most Emoji's here: [Fluent Emoji](https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-emoji). The images are under the `assets` directory and generally you'll want the color versions. There are so many subdirectories that GitHub web interface won't list them all, so you'll have to use the search box to access anything at the end if the alphabet. You'll also need to convert them to PNG of size 192x192 pixels, which can be done via various online converters.
