Ubuntu 12.04 Server上安装gitlab 5.3过程

这个安装过程有点变态，基本是按照官方安装文档来进行的，网址是：https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md。安装过程中遇到不少问题，所幸的是最后都解决了。我用Diigo在安装文档上做了很多的注释，最后汇总一下。

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.

2. Ruby

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

3. System Users

Create a git user for Gitlab:

sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'GitLab' git

4. GitLab shell

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

5. Database

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';

6. GitLab

# We'll install GitLab into home directory of the user "git"

cd /home/git

Clone the Source

# 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!

Configure it

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

Install Gems

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:'

Install Init Script

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 Application Status

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】

if it report "git version is too low", you can install higher version of git manually.reference https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-12-04

Be sure also that when you edit the config/gitlab.yml file that you update the location of git (mine was at /usr/local/bin/git )  . reference https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gitlabhq/exlj_EHatQQ

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.

7. Nginx

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.

Installation

sudo apt-get install -y nginx

Site Configuration

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

Restart

sudo service nginx restart

Done!

【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!
