Build a website on gitlab server

In the modern software development process, version management tools are one of the essential tools. Git is currently one of the most popular version management tools, and GitLab is a very powerful Git management platform on which you can build a code warehouse, conduct code management, achieve collaboration and project management, etc. In addition, GitLab can also build websites, allowing users to access their websites through domain names. This article will introduce how to build a website on the GitLab server to help developers quickly deploy their own websites.

1. GitLab server environment construction

First you need to set up the GitLab server environment. You can use a cloud server or your own computer as the server. The specific construction method will not be described here. After setting up the GitLab server, you need to create a project and upload your own website code in the project.

2. Configure the website domain name

To build a website on the GitLab server, you need to configure a domain name for the website so that the website can be accessed through a browser. On the local computer, domain name resolution can be performed by modifying the hosts file, but on the external network, domain name resolution also needs to be performed. For specific domain name resolution operations, please refer to the documentation of the DNS service provider.

3. Configure Nginx

Install the Nginx server on the GitLab server to reverse proxy GitLab and the website. Since the default port of GitLab is 80, in order to access GitLab and the website at the same time, you need to change the Nginx port to another port, such as 8080.

1. Install Nginx

On Ubuntu system, you can install Nginx through the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx

2. Configure Nginx

Create a new configuration file named my_website in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory with the following content:

server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name mydomain.com;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
        }

        location /my_website {
                alias /var/gitlab/gitlab-rails/public;
        }
}

Among them, mydomain.com is your domain name (you must first configure it with the DNS service provider parsed in), /var/gitlab/gitlab-rails/public is the directory where your website code is located. Restart the Nginx service:

sudo service nginx restart

4. Visit the website

After completing the above steps, you can access the website through the browser. Enter http://mydomain.com:8080/my_website in the browser to access the website built on the GitLab server.

Summary

Through the above steps, it is not complicated to build a website on the GitLab server. It should be noted that the website code needs to be uploaded to the GitLab project and the Nginx reverse proxy service must be configured. In this way, building a website on the GitLab server can easily manage code and achieve collaborative development. At the same time, the website can be freely expanded and customized.
