GitLab is a web-based Git repository manager that allows users to host Git repositories and manage code development. Here's how to install GitLab on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we start installing GitLab, we need to make sure that all necessary dependencies are installed. To do this, open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates tzdata perl
Next, we need to download and install the GitLab package repository. Use the following command to download and add the repository:
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
Now that the repository is installed, we can go ahead and install GitLab CE:
sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce
After GitLab CE is installed you need to configure the external URL for GitLab instance if you use it. Open /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file and edit the following line:
external_url 'http://yourgitlab.example.com'
Save and close the file.
After configuring the external URL, we need to restart GitLab for the changes to take effect:
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
Now that GitLab is installed and configured, you can access it by entering the server's IP address in your browser's address bar.
http://server_IP_address
That's it! GitLab is now installed and ready to use. You can now start creating projects, managing code development, and collaborating with other developers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
