To begin with, ensure that your MXLinux system is up to date by running:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
GitLab requires some dependencies to be present on your system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install curl openssh-server ca-certificates tzdata perl
To install GitLab, you will need to add the GitLab package repository to your system. Use the following command:
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
Finally, you can install GitLab using the following command:
sudo apt install gitlab-ce
After installation, you need to configure GitLab before you can use it. Use the command below to access the GitLab configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
There, you can configure some settings like hostname, email notifications, and more.
Once you’re done configuring GitLab, start the service with this command:
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
After this, GitLab should be up and running on your MXLinux system.
