GitLab use MySQL as default database but you are free to use PostgreSQL.
|
||||
GitLab supports the following databases:
|
||||
|
||||
* MySQL (preferred)
|
||||
* PostgreSQL
|

python --version
|
||||
|
||||
# If it's Python 3 you might need to install Python 2 separately
|
||||
sudo apt-get install python2.7
|
||||
|
||||
# Make sure you can access Python via `python2`
|
||||
python2 --version

|
||||
# Generate the SSH key
|
||||
sudo -u gitlab -H ssh-keygen -q -N '' -t rsa -f /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Gitolite
|
||||
|
||||
Clone GitLab's fork of the Gitolite source code:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo -H -u git git clone -b gl-v304 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitolite.git /home/git/gitolite
|
||||
sudo -u git -H git clone -b gl-v304 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitolite.git /home/git/gitolite
|
||||
|
||||
Setup:
|
||||
Setup Gitolite with GitLab as its admin:
|
||||
|
||||
**Important Note**
|
||||
GitLab assumes *full and unshared* control over this Gitolite installation.
|
||||
|
||||
# Add Gitolite scripts to $PATH
|
||||
cd /home/git
|
||||
sudo -u git -H mkdir bin
|
||||
sudo -u git sh -c 'echo -e "PATH=\$PATH:/home/git/bin\nexport PATH" >> /home/git/.profile'
|
||||
sudo -u git sh -c 'gitolite/install -ln /home/git/bin'
|
||||
sudo -u git -H sh -c 'echo -e "PATH=\$PATH:/home/git/bin\nexport PATH" >> /home/git/.profile'
|
||||
sudo -u git -H sh -c 'gitolite/install -ln /home/git/bin'
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy the gitlab user's (public) SSH key ...
|
||||
sudo cp /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/git/gitlab.pub
|
||||
sudo chmod 0444 /home/git/gitlab.pub
|
||||
|
||||
# ... and use it as the Gitolite admin key for setup
|
||||
sudo -u git -H sh -c "PATH=/home/git/bin:$PATH; gitolite setup -pk /home/git/gitlab.pub"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Permissions:
|
||||
Fix the directory permissions for the repository:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /home/git/repositories/
|
||||
# Make sure the repositories dir is owned by git and it stays that way
|
||||
sudo chmod -R ug+rwXs /home/git/repositories/
|
||||
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/
|
||||
|
||||
# clone admin repo to add localhost to known_hosts
|
||||
# & be sure your user has access to gitolite
|
||||
## Test if everything works so far
|
||||
|
||||
# Clone the admin repo so SSH adds localhost to known_hosts ...
|
||||
# ... and to be sure your users have access to Gitolite
|
||||
sudo -u gitlab -H git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git /tmp/gitolite-admin
|
||||
|
||||
# if succeed you can remove it
|
||||
# If it succeeded without errors you can remove the cloned repo
|
||||
sudo rm -rf /tmp/gitolite-admin
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT! If you can't clone `gitolite-admin` repository - DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION**

|
||||
**Note***
|
||||
You can change `stable` to `master` if you want the *bleeding edge* version, but
|
||||
do so with caution!
|
||||
|
||||
# Skip this for stable setup.
|

|
||||
But there are still a few steps to go.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Init Script
|
||||
|
||||
Download the init script (will be /etc/init.d/gitlab):
|
||||
|
||||
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init.d/gitlab -P /etc/init.d/
|
||||
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab autostart:
|
||||
Make GitLab start on boot:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo update-rc.d gitlab defaults 21
|
||||
|
||||
#### Now you should start GitLab application:
|
||||
|
||||
Start your GitLab instance:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo service gitlab start
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# 7. Nginx
|
||||
|
||||
# Install first
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
sudo apt-get install nginx
|
||||
|
||||
# Add GitLab to nginx sites & change with your host specific settings
|
||||
## Site Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Download an example site config:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/nginx/gitlab -P /etc/nginx/sites-available/
|
||||
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to edit the config file to match your setup:
|
||||
|
||||
# Change **YOUR_SERVER_IP** and **YOUR_SERVER_FQDN**
|
||||
# to the IP address and fully-qualified domain name
|
||||
# of the host serving GitLab.
|
||||
# of your host serving GitLab
|
||||
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart nginx:
|
||||
## Restart
|
||||
|
||||
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Done! Visit YOUR_SERVER for gitlab instance
|
||||
# Done!
|
||||
|
||||
You can login via web using admin generated with setup:
|
||||
Visit YOUR_SERVER for your first GitLab login.
|
||||
The setup has created an admin account for you. You can use it to log in:
|
||||
|
||||
admin@local.host
|
||||
5iveL!fe
|
||||
|
||||
**Important Note**
|
||||
Please go over to your profile page and immediately chage the password, so
|
||||
nobody can access your GitLab by using this login information later on.
|
||||
|
||||
**Enjoy!**

## Custom Redis connections
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like Resque to connect to a Redis server on a non-standard port or on
|
||||
a different host, you can configure its connection string in the
|
||||
**config/resque.yml** file:

## Platform requirements:
|
||||
# Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
**The project is designed for the Linux operating system.**
|
||||
We recommend you to run GitLab on a server with at least 1GB RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
It may work on FreeBSD and Mac OS, but we don't test our application for these systems and can't guarantee stability and full functionality.
|
||||
The necessary hard disk space largely depends on the size of the repos you want
|
||||
to use GitLab with. But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least as much
|
||||
free space as your all repos combined take up.
|
||||
|
||||
We officially support (recent versions of) these Linux distributions:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Operating Systems
|
||||
|
||||
## Linux
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab is developed for the Linux operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab officially supports (recent versions of) these Linux distributions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ubuntu Linux
|
||||
- Debian/GNU Linux
|
||||
|
||||
It should work on:
|
||||
It should also work on (though they are not officially supported):
|
||||
|
||||
- Arch
|
||||
- CentOS
|
||||
- Fedora
|
||||
- CentOs
|
||||
- Gentoo
|
||||
- RedHat
|
||||
|
||||
You might have some luck using these, but no guarantees:
|
||||
## Other Unix Systems
|
||||
|
||||
- FreeBSD will likely work, see https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/796
|
||||
- MacOS X will likely work, see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gitlabhq/5IXHbPkjKLA
|
||||
There is nothing that prevents GitLab from running on other Unix operating
|
||||
systems. This means you may get it to work on systems running FreeBSD or OS X.
|
||||
**If you want to try, please proceed with caution!**
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab does **not** run on Windows and we have no plans of making GitLab compatible.
|
||||
## Windows
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab does **not** run on Windows and we have no plans of supporting it in the
|
||||
near future.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware:
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend to use server with at least 1GB RAM for gitlab instance.
|
||||
# Rubies
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab requires Ruby (MRI) 1.9.3 and several Gems with native components.
|
||||
While it is generally possible to use other Rubies (like
|
||||
[JRuby](http://jruby.org/) or [Rubinius](http://rubini.us/)) it might require
|
||||
some work on your part.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation troubles and reporting success or failure
|
||||
|
||||
If you have troubles installing GitLab following the official installation guide
|
||||
or want to share your experience installing GitLab on a not officially supported
|
||||
platform, please follow the the contribution guide (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
