GitLab is a Git repository management system that allows you to analyze code, track and record errors, set testing, deployment, documentation, etc. tasks.
Preparing for installation
In the context of this manual, it is assumed that the installation will take place on a “clean” server. For GitLab to work correctly, you will need:
Installation
There are 3 ways to install GitLab:
- Package installation;
- Installation from a repository;
- Building and installing from source.
The recommended option by the developers is to install GitLab from the repository. To install GitLab from a repository, follow these steps:
Install the required dependencies:
sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server
This command will install the following packages:
cURL, OpenSSH-Server и PolicyCoreUtils-Python
After installing these packages, you need to start and include OpenSSH-Server in startup. To do this, enter the following commands one by one:
We include OpenSSH-Server in autoload:
sudo systemctl enable sshd
Start OpenSSH-Server:
sudo systemctl start sshd
Add new rules to the Firewall and restart it:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
sudo systemctl reload firewalld
Next, install Postfix to send email notifications. To do this, you need to run the following commands:
Install Postfix:
sudo yum install postfix
Add Postfix to autoload:
sudo systemctl enable postfix
Start Postfix:
sudo systemctl start postfix
During the installation process, Postfix may open a configuration screen. You need to select “Internet-site” and press Enter. For “mail name” you need to specify the external DNS of your server, then press Enter. If additional screens appear during installation, just keep pressing Enter to set the defaults.
Let’s add a repository to the system:
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
Next, you need to specify the external address of the system and install GitLab. At this stage, the installer script will download about 700 MB, so you need to wait a bit. Also, the address “ https://gitlab.example.com ” must be replaced with your own:
sudo EXTERNAL_URL="https://gitlab.example.com" yum install -y gitlab-ee
Open the address you set earlier in the browser. On your first visit, you will be redirected to change the administrator password. After changing your password, you will be taken to the login page. Use the root login and the new password to log in to the system.
