How to set up gitlab server on linux server

Environment preparation

This article uses Ubuntu 18.04. If you are using other distributions, please ensure that the following preparations have been completed:

• A server with a Linux system installed.

• Make sure the server's network is connected and you can access the external network.

• Make sure you have installed the necessary dependent libraries: openssh-server, ca-certificates, curl, postfix. You can use the following command to install dependent libraries:

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

Install GitLab

1. Add GitLab Community Edition software source:

   
   

   curl https://packages.gitlab.com/gpg.key 2>&1 | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
   

   
   

2. Install GitLab:

   
   

   sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce
   

   
   

   The installation process may take some time. After the installation is successful, you can enter the following command in the terminal to start GitLab:

   
   

   sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
   

   
   

3. Access GitLab in the browser:

   By default, the port GitLab listens to is 80, so you can enter the address of your server plus port 80 in the browser to access the GitLab page . When using cloud hosts such as Alibaba Cloud, you must first open port 80 on the cloud platform.

   
   

   http://<server IP>:80/
