What is GitLab?
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
GitLab offers git repository management, code reviews, issue tracking, activity feeds, wikis. It has LDAP/AD integration, handles 25,000 users on a single server but can also run on a highly available active/active cluster. A subscription gives you access to our support team and to GitLab Enterprise Edition that contains extra features aimed at larger organizations.

How to use this image
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
At this moment GitLab doesn't have official Docker images.
|
|
Build your own based on the Omnibus packages with the following command (it assumes you're in the GitLab repo root directory):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo docker build --tag gitlab_image docker/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We assume using a data volume container, this will simplify migrations and backups.
|
|
This empty container will exist to persist as volumes the 3 directories used by GitLab, so remember not to delete it.
|
|
|
|
The directories on data container are:
|
|
|
|
- `/var/opt/gitlab` for application data
|
|
- `/var/log/gitlab` for logs
|
|
- `/etc/gitlab` for configuration
|
|
|
|
Create the data container with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo docker run --name gitlab_data gitlab_image /bin/true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After creating this run GitLab:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo docker run --detach --name gitlab_app --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --volumes-from gitlab_data gitlab_image
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It might take a while before the docker container is responding to queries. You can follow the configuration process with `docker logs -f gitlab_app`.
|
|
|
|
You can then go to `http://localhost:8080/` (or `http://192.168.59.103:8080/` if you use boot2docker).
|
|
You can login with username `root` and password `5iveL!fe`.
|
|
Next time, you can just use `sudo docker start gitlab_app` and `sudo docker stop gitlab_app`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to configure GitLab
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This container uses the official Omnibus GitLab distribution, so all configuration is done in the unique configuration file `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
|
|
|
|
To access GitLab configuration, you can start an interactive command line in a new container using the shared data volume container, you will be able to browse the 3 directories and use your favorite text editor:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -ti -e TERM=linux --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu
|
|
vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note** that GitLab will reconfigure itself **at each container start.** You will need to restart the container to reconfigure your GitLab.
|
|
|
|
You can find all available options in [Omnibus GitLab documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#configuration).
