## Platform requirements:
**The project is designed for the Linux operating system. **
It may work on FreeBSD and Mac OS, but we don't test our application for these systems and can't guarantee stability and full functionality.
We officially support next Linux Distributions:
- Ubuntu
- Debian
It should work on:
- Fedora
- CentOs
- Red Hat
It can work on:
- Mac Os
- FreeBSD
It 100% **wont** work on Windows
## This installation guide created for Debian/Ubuntu and properly tested.
The installation consists of 6 steps:
1. install packeges.
2. install ruby
3. install gitolite
4. install gitlab and configuration. Check status configuration.
5. server up.
6. run resque process (for processing queue).
** Before submit an installation issue - please check if you followed all steps **

> First 3 steps can be easily skipped with simply install script:

> # Install curl and sudo
> apt-get install curl sudo
>
> # 3 steps in 1 command :)
> curl http://dl.dropbox.com/u/936096/debian_ubuntu.sh | sh

> Now you can go to step 4"

# 1. Install packages
*Keep in mind that `sudo` is not installed for debian by default. You should install it with as root:* **apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install sudo**
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y git-core wget curl gcc checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libreadline-dev libc6-dev libssl-dev libmysql++-dev make build-essential zlib1g-dev libicu-dev redis-server openssh-server git-core python-dev python-pip sendmail
# 2. Install ruby
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
tar xfv ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.2-p290
./configure
make
sudo make install
# 3. Install gitolite
Create user for git:
sudo adduser \
--system \
--shell /bin/sh \
--gecos 'git version control' \
--group \
--disabled-password \
--home /home/git \
git
Create user for gitlab:
# ubuntu/debian
sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'gitlab system' gitlab
Add your user to git group:
sudo usermod -a -G git gitlab
Generate key:
sudo -H -u gitlab ssh-keygen -q -N '' -t rsa -f /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa
Get gitolite source code:
cd /home/git
sudo -H -u git git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitolite /home/git/gitolite
Setup:
sudo -u git -H /home/git/gitolite/src/gl-system-install
sudo cp /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/git/gitlab.pub
sudo chmod 777 /home/git/gitlab.pub
sudo -u git -H sed -i 's/0077/0007/g' /home/git/share/gitolite/conf/example.gitolite.rc
sudo -u git -H sh -c "PATH=/home/git/bin:$PATH; gl-setup -q /home/git/gitlab.pub"
Permissions:
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /home/git/repositories/
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/
#### CHECK: Logout & login again to apply git group to your user
# clone admin repo to add localhost to known_hosts
# & be sure your user has access to gitolite
sudo -u gitlab -H git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git /tmp/gitolite-admin
# if succeed you can remove it
sudo rm -rf /tmp/gitolite-admin
** IMPORTANT! If you cant clone `gitolite-admin` repository - DONT PROCEED INSTALLATION**
# 4. Install gitlab and configuration. Check status configuration.
sudo gem install charlock_holmes
sudo pip install pygments
sudo gem install bundler
cd /home/gitlab
sudo -H -u gitlab git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git gitlab
cd gitlab
# Rename config files
sudo -u gitlab cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml
#### Select db you want to use
# SQLite
sudo -u gitlab cp config/database.yml.sqlite config/database.yml
# Or
# Mysql
sudo -u gitlab cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
# Change username/password of config/database.yml to real one
#### Install gems
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --without development test --deployment
#### Setup DB
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake db:seed_fu RAILS_ENV=production
Checking status:
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake gitlab_status

If you got all YES - congrats! You can go to next step.
# 5. Server up
Application can be started with next command:
# For test purposes
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rails s -e production
# As daemon
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rails s -e production -d
# 6. Run resque process (for processing queue).
# Manually
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake environment resque:work QUEUE=* RAILS_ENV=production BACKGROUND=yes
# Gitlab start script
./resque.sh
** Ok - we have a working application now. **
** But keep going - there are some thing that should be done **
# Nginx && Unicorn
### Install Nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx
## Unicorn
cd /home/gitlab/gitlab
sudo -u gitlab cp config/unicorn.rb.orig config/unicorn.rb
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb -E production -D
Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. Add next code to **http** section:
upstream gitlab {
server unix:/tmp/gitlab.socket;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name mygitlab.com;
location / {
root /home/gitlab/gitlab/public;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://gitlab;
break;
}
}
}
mygitlab.com - change to your domain.
Restart nginx:
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
Create init script in /etc/init.d/gitlab:
#! /bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: unicorn
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: starts the unicorn web server
# Description: starts unicorn
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in

echo -n "Starting $DESC: "

else

fi
echo "$NAME."
;;

echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
kill -QUIT `cat $PID`
kill -QUIT `cat $RESQUE_PID`
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
kill -USR2 `cat $PID`
kill -USR2 `cat $RESQUE_PID`
echo "$NAME."
;;
reload)
echo -n "Reloading $DESC configuration: "
kill -HUP `cat $PID`
kill -HUP `cat $RESQUE_PID`
echo "$NAME."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $NAME {start|stop|restart|reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Adding permission:
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
When server is rebooted then gitlab must starting:
sudo update-rc.d gitlab defaults
Now you can start/restart/stop gitlab like:
sudo /etc/init.d/gitlab restart
