How to build your own Gitlab library

Today, we will introduce how to build a Gitlab library. Gitlab is the most popular self-hosted Git repository. Git is a version control tool used to record and trace changes to files. In this article, we will introduce you step by step how to build your own Gitlab library.

Step one: Install the necessary software packages

To build your own Gitlab library, you first need to install some software packages required by Gitlab. Including Redis, PostgreSQL, OpenSSH Server, ca-certificates, etc. You can install the required packages with the following command:

sudo apt-get install curl openssh-server ca-certificates postfix

Step 2: Install Gitlab

Next, let’s install the Gitlab software. In this article, we will install Gitlab Community Edition. You can install Gitlab through the following command:

curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce

Step 3: Configure Gitlab

After installing Gitlab, we need to configure it. First, you need to set up Gitlab's external URL. In Gitlab's configuration file (/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb) you can find the following:

# gitlab_rails['gitlab_ssh_host'] = 'ssh.host_example.com'
# gitlab_rails['time_zone'] = 'UTC'
# …

Set "gitlab_ssh_host" there to your external URL. There is no need to set the time zone unless you want to specify local time.

Next, we need to reconfigure Gitlab:

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Step 4: Use Gitlab

Now, you have completed the installation and configuration of Gitlab. You can access Gitlab through the following URL: http://localhost or http://your_server_ip. Simply enter your username and password to access your GitLab repository.

Step 5: Create a Gitlab library

There are two ways to create a Gitlab library. The first method is to create a repository from Gitlab's web interface. All you need to do is log in to Gitlab and click the "New project" button. Then, fill in the information about your project and click "Create project."

The second method is to use Git commands. If you are using Git on your local machine, you can push your project to the Gitlab repository. Below are the commands to create a Gitlab repository and push local projects to the newly created repository.

# 创建新项目
curl -X POST -d "name=my_project&visibility_level=20" --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects

# 将现有项目推送到Gitlab库
cd my_project/
git remote add origin git@gitlab.example.com:<your_username>/my_project.git
git push -u origin master

Using the above method, you can easily build your own Gitlab library and enjoy the fun of version control.
