Installing Gitlab Server

Let me walk through the steps.
  1. sudo apt-get install curl openssh-server ca-certificates
  2. curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash 
  3. sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce
  4. In file /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
    1. nginx['listen_port'] = 8081
    2. external_url 'http://mithun.cse.iitm.ac.in' 
  5. sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  6. Go to localhost or mithun.cse.iitm.ac.in to set to root's password.
  • Note: We tried setting up as gitlab.mithun.cse.iitm.ac.in but wasn't able to as mithun.cse.iitm.ac.in was already running an apache2 webserver from 80 port.
  • Note: We decided to run on 8081 instead
  • Note: We could have setup as "http://mithun.cse.iitm.ac.in/gitlab" --  I was not in favour of it.
If someone knows how to setup gitlab it as subdomain without affecting the existing webserver. Do let us know. Thank you.
