Overview
The
GitLab installation consists of setting up the following components:
1. Packages / Dependencies
2. Ruby
3. System Users
4. GitLab shell
5. Database
6. GitLab
7. Nginx
1. Packages / Dependencies
sudo is
not installed on Debian by default. Make sure your system is up-to-date and
install it.
# run as root!
apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install sudo -y
Note: During this
installation some files will need to be edited manually. If you are familiar
with vim set it as default editor with the commands below. If you are not
familiar with vim please skip this and keep using the default editor.
# Install vim and set as default editor
sudo apt-get install -y vim
sudo update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim.basic
Install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install -y
build-essential zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev
libncurses5-dev libffi-dev curl git-core openssh-server redis-server
checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev
Make
sure you have the right version of
Python installed.
# Install Python
sudo apt-get install -y python
# Make sure that Python is 2.5+ (3.x is not supported at the
moment)
python --version
# If it's Python 3 you might need to
install Python 2 separately
sudo apt-get install python2.7
# Make sure you can access Python via python2
python2 --version
# If you get a "command not found" error create a
link to the python binary
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
# For reStructuredText markup language support install
required package:
sudo apt-get install python-docutils
Note: In order to receive
mail notifications, make sure to install a mail server. By default, Debian is
shipped with exim4 whereas Ubuntu does not ship with one. The recommended mail
server is postfix and you can install it with:
sudo apt-get install -y postfix
Then
select 'Internet Site' and press enter to confirm the hostname.
Remove
the old Ruby 1.8 if present
sudo apt-get remove -y ruby1.8
Download
Ruby and compile it:
mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
curl --progress
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz | tar xz
cd ruby-2.0.0-p247
./configure
make
sudo make install
Install
the Bundler Gem:
sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
Create
a git user for Gitlab:
sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'GitLab' git
GitLab
Shell is a ssh access and repository management software developed specially
for GitLab.
# Go to home directory
cd /home/git
# Clone gitlab shell
sudo -u git -H git clone
https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell.git
cd gitlab-shell
# switch to right version
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.7.0
sudo -u git -H cp config.yml.example config.yml
# Edit config
and replace gitlab_url with something like
'http://domain.com/'
sudo -u git -H editor config.yml
# Do setup
sudo -u git -H ./bin/install
这里就是创建一个数据库和创建一个用户，可以用phpmyadmin来完成。
#
Create the GitLab production database
mysql>
CREATE
DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `gitlabhq_production` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8`
COLLATE `utf8_unicode_ci`;
#
Grant the GitLab user necessary permissions on the table.
mysql>
GRANT
SELECT, LOCK TABLES, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER ON
`gitlabhq_production`.* TO 'gitlab'@'localhost';
# We'll install GitLab
into home directory of the user "git"
cd /home/git
# Clone GitLab repository
sudo -u git -H git clone
https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git gitlab
# Go to gitlab dir
cd /home/git/gitlab
# Checkout to stable
release
sudo -u git -H git checkout 5-4-stable
Note: You can
change 5-4-stable to master if you want the bleeding
edge version, but never install master on a production server!
cd /home/git/gitlab
# Copy the example GitLab
config
sudo -u git -H cp config/gitlab.yml.example
config/gitlab.yml
# Make sure to change
"localhost" to the fully-qualified domain name of your
# host serving GitLab
where necessary
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
# Make sure GitLab can write
to the log/ and tmp/ directories
sudo chown -R git log/
sudo chown -R git tmp/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX
log/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX
tmp/
# Create directory for
satellites
sudo -u git -H mkdir /home/git/gitlab-satellites
# Create directories for
sockets/pids and make sure GitLab can write to them
sudo -u git -H mkdir tmp/pids/
sudo -u git -H mkdir tmp/sockets/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX
tmp/pids/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX
tmp/sockets/
# Create public/uploads
directory otherwise backup will fail
sudo -u git -H mkdir public/uploads
sudo chmod -R u+rwX
public/uploads
# Copy the example Unicorn
config【这里发生了一个问题，我找不到这个unicorn.rb.example，所以从github上的gitlab源码里边下载了一个放进去了】
sudo -u git -H cp config/unicorn.rb.example
config/unicorn.rb
# Enable cluster mode if
you expect to have a high load instance
# Ex. change amount of
workers to 3 for 2GB RAM server
sudo -u git -H editor config/unicorn.rb
# Configure Git global
settings for git user, useful when editing via web
# Edit user.email
according to what is set in gitlab.yml
sudo -u git -H git config --global user.name
"GitLab"
sudo -u git -H git config --global user.email
"gitlab@localhost"
sudo -u git -H git config --global core.autocrlf
input
Important
Note: Make
sure to edit both gitlab.yml and unicorn.rb to match your
setup.
Configure GitLab DB settings
# Mysql
sudo -u git cp config/database.yml.mysql
config/database.yml
or
# PostgreSQL
sudo -u git cp
config/database.yml.postgresql config/database.yml
# Make sure
to update username/password in config/database.yml.
# You only
need to adapt the production settings (first part).
# If you
followed the database guide then please do as follows:
# Change
'root' to 'gitlab'
# Change
'secure password' with the value you have given to $password
# You can
keep the double quotes around the password
sudo -u git -H editor config/database.yml
# Make config/database.yml
readable to git only
sudo -u git -H chmod o-rwx config/database.yml
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo gem install charlock_holmes --version
'0.6.9.4'
# For MySQL (note, the
option says "without ... postgres")【这里会花很长很长时间，要耐心等待】
sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment
--without development test postgres unicorn aws
# Or for PostgreSQL (note,
the option says "without ... mysql")
sudo -u git -H bundle
install --deployment --without development test mysql unicorn aws
Initialize Database and
Activate Advanced Features
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup
RAILS_ENV=production
# Type 'yes' to create the
database.
# When done you see
'Administrator account created:'
Download
the init script (will be /etc/init.d/gitlab):
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab
/etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
Make
GitLab start on boot:
sudo update-rc.d gitlab defaults 21
Check
if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info
RAILS_ENV=production
【这里又有问题，报git的版本太低，解决方法如下】
Start Your GitLab Instance
sudo service gitlab start
# or
sudo /etc/init.d/gitlab
restart
Double-check Application
Status
To
make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check
RAILS_ENV=production
If
all items are green, then congratulations on successfully installing GitLab!
However there are still a few steps left.
Note: Nginx is the
officially supported web server for GitLab. If you cannot or do not want to use
Nginx as your web server, have a look at the GitLab recipes.
sudo apt-get install -y nginx
Download
an example site config:
sudo cp lib/support/nginx/gitlab
/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
Make
sure to edit the config file to match your setup:
# Change YOUR_SERVER_FQDN to the fully-qualified
# domain name of your host
serving GitLab.
sudo editor /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab
sudo service nginx restart
【如果到这里还不能通过浏览器访问，一定记得重启一次物理服务器，重启就好了】
Visit
YOUR_SERVER for your first GitLab login. The setup has created an admin account
for you. You can use it to log in:
admin@local.host
5iveL!fe
Important
Note: Please
go over to your profile page and immediately change the password, so nobody can
access your GitLab by using this login information later on.
Enjoy!
