GitLab Shell is called from OpenSSH, and having a version manager can prevent In production, frequently leads to hard to diagnose problems. The use of Ruby version managers such as RVM, rbenv or chruby with GitLab Note: The current supported Ruby version is 2.1.x. Then select 'Internet Site' and press enter to confirm the hostname.
#How to install gitlab in centos 7 install
The recommended mail server is postfix and you can install it with: sudo apt-get install -y postfix By default, Debian is shipped with exim4 but this has problems while Ubuntu does not ship with one. Note: In order to receive mail notifications, make sure to install a mail server. # When editing config/gitlab.yml (Step 5), change the git -> bin_path to /usr/local/bin/git Is the system packaged Git too old? Remove it and compile from source. # Make sure Git is version 2.7.4 or higher Make sure you have the right version of Git installed # Install Git Note: If you don't know what Kerberos is, you can assume you don't need it. If you want to use Kerberos for user authentication, then install libkrb5-dev: sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev Install the required packages (needed to compile Ruby and native extensions to Ruby gems): sudo apt-get install -y build-essential zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev curl openssh-server checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev logrotate python-docutils pkg-config cmake nodejs
Sudo update-alternatives -set editor /usr/bin/vim.basic If you are not familiar with vim please skip this and keep using the default editor.
If you are familiar with vim set it as default editor with the commands below. Note: During this installation some files will need to be edited manually. Sudo is not installed on Debian by default. The GitLab installation consists of setting up the following components: If you find a bug/error in this guide please submit a merge request For example many people run into permission problems because they changed the location of directories or run services as the wrong user. Make sure you don't violate any assumptions GitLab makes about its environment. Please use caution when you deviate from this guide. The following steps have been known to work. To set up a development installation or for many other installation options please see the installation section of the readme. This is the official installation guide to set up a production server. If you want to install on RHEL/CentOS we recommend using the Omnibus packages. Please read requirements.md for hardware and operating system requirements. This installation guide was created for and tested on Debian/Ubuntu operating systems. This guide is long because it covers many cases and includes all commands you need, this is one of the few installation scripts that actually works out of the box. If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the GitLab Blog for installation guide links by version. You can select the tag in the version dropdown in the top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar). In most cases this should be the highest numbered production tag (without rc in it). Make sure you view this installation guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would like to install. Since installations from source don't have Runit, Sidekiq can't be terminated and its memory usage will grow over time. Omnibus packages solve this by letting the Sidekiq terminate gracefully if it uses too much memory.Īfter this termination Runit will detect Sidekiq is not running and will start it. On heavily used GitLab instances the memory usage of the Sidekiq background worker will grow over time. One reason the Omnibus package is more reliable is its use of Runit to restart any of the GitLab processes in case one crashes. Since an installation from source is a lot of work and error prone we strongly recommend the fast and reliable Omnibus package installation (deb/rpm). Installation from source Consider the Omnibus package installation
