How to install GitLab 8

GitLab 8 is a free, open source Git warehouse management system. It is a self-hosted git project that provides many features such as code review, wiki, CI, etc. To set up GitLab yourself, this article will show you how to install GitLab 8.

Note: This article assumes that you have already installed and configured Docker. If you haven't installed Docker yet, please follow Docker's installation guide first.

Step 1: Create the GitLab working directory
First, create the directory where GitLab data and configuration are stored. We use the /srv/gitlab/examplecom/ directory:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/gitlab/examplecom/config
sudo mkdir -p /srv/gitlab/examplecom/logs
sudo mkdir - p /srv/gitlab/examplecom/data

Step 2: Create a GitLab image
In order to use GitLab, we need a Docker image. Docker officially provides the official GitLab image, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04.

sudo docker pull gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

Step 3: Run the GitLab container
Now we have all the parts needed to run the container.

sudo docker run --detach \
--hostname gi.example.com \
--publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 \
--name gitlab \
--restart always \
--volume /srv/gitlab/examplecom/config:/etc/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/examplecom/logs:/var /log/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/examplecom/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

Step 4: Configure GitLab
Now we can access the Docker host IP address and configure GitLab through the browser. GitLab doesn't take long to initialize.

http:///

Step 5: Log in to GitLab
Log in using the default administrator username and initial password:

Username :root
Password: 5iveL!fe

Now you can change your password. Enter your email address to recover your access password.

Step 6: Create your first project
Now you can create a new project on GitLab. The steps are as follows:

1. Click on the “ ” sign in the right sidebar
2. Click on “New Project”
3. Name the project
4. Select the project Control type, such as Git, SVN or Mercurial, etc.
5. Click the "Create project" button

Now you can add users to your project, set permissions, etc.

After completing the above steps, you have successfully installed GitLab 8. Now you can start using it to manage your code base, wiki, CI, etc.
