They don't support it any more [1].

The method they suggest is [2].

That looks somewhat inefficient, compared to using a cron job
on a self-owned machine. But at least it works and is a proof-of-concept.

Well: If I self-host such a mirror, I have costs and I have no dDoS protection.
And if I choose GitLab hosting, I have costs as well since "Mirror a repository
from another location" is only "Available in the Premium and Ultimate tier".
I guess only the method [2] comes with no monthly cost.
