Build Gitlab on Mac - Build your own code repository from scratch

In software development, we all need a version control system to manage our code repository. Git is a widely used version control system, and Gitlab is a platform that provides code hosting services. If you want to set up a Gitlab server on your Mac, this article will provide you with the necessary guidelines.

Step One: Install Docker

Docker is a very powerful containerization tool that allows you to run applications anywhere without worrying about dependencies and environment issues. It is very convenient to use Docker to build Gitlab because it can automate most of the configuration and installation.

First, you need to download and install Docker. Go to the official website download address: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

After the installation is complete, you need to enter the following command in the terminal to ensure that Docker has been installed correctly:

docker --version

If the correct version number is output, Docker has been successfully installed.

Step 2: Create a Gitlab container

Before running a Docker-based Gitlab container, you need to ensure that a Docker network already exists in your system, which can be created with the following command:

docker network create gitlab_network

Then, you can use the following command to run a new Gitlab container:

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

Each parameter in this command has a different role, here are some simple instructions:

• --hostname: Specify the host name used by Gitlab. Here we use the default gitlab.example.com.
• --name: Specify the name of the Gitlab container. We used the default gitlab.
• --network: Specify the Docker network used by the container.
• --publish: Specifies the port mapping used by the Gitlab container. For the specific meaning, please refer to the comments in the command.
• --restart: Specifies the conditions for automatic restart of the container.
• --volume: Specifies the location where the data volume inside the container is mounted.

Based on these parameters, we used the latest version of Gitlab-ce, and you can also use different versions according to your own needs.

Step 3: Access Gitlab

Now, you can access http://localhost or http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS( According to your network configuration) to access Gitlab.

When you access Gitlab for the first time, you will be prompted to set an administrator password and ask you to enter a new username and password. After completing these settings, you can start using Gitlab.
