How to compile and install Gitlab

In this technological era, software development has become a hot topic. Gitlab is an efficient version control system that is increasingly favored by developers. So, how is the compilation and installation of Gitlab implemented? In this article, we will introduce you to the compilation and installation methods of Gitlab.
1、 Preparation work
Before starting to compile Gitlab, please ensure that you have installed the following necessary software:
Ruby 2.5+
Git 2.x
Redis 2.8+
PostgreSQL 9.5+
Node.js 8.16+
Yarn
Curl
Development Tools
(Note: Developers can also download the compiled version on the official website.)
2、 Download Gitlab source code
You can download the Gitlab source code package from the official Gitlab website, and then extract it to the specified directory. For example, we unzip the Gitlab source code package to the/usr/local/gitlab directory.
$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo curl -LJO  https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/el/7/gitlab-ce-13.12.0-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm/download.deb
$ sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce-14.0.0-ce.0.el7.x86_ 64.rpm
3、 Configuring and installing Gitlab services
Modifying Configuration Files
Firstly, you need to modify the Gitlab configuration file. You can make modifications in the following ways:
$ cd /etc/gitlab
$ sudo vi gitlab.rb
Then, add the following configuration code to gitlab.rb and modify the configuration you need:
External network access: (Ensure port 443 is open)
external_ url ' https://gitlab.example.com '
SSL encryption configuration:
nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.crt"
nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.example.com.key"
PostgreSQL configuration:
postgresql['enable'] = true
postgresql['listen_address'] = 'localhost'
postgresql['data_dir'] = "/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data"
SMTP configuration:
gitlab_ rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_ rails['smtp_address'] = "smtp.example.com"
gitlab_ rails['smtp_port'] = 25
gitlab_ rails['smtp_user_name'] = "smtp_user"
gitlab_ rails['smtp_password'] = "smtp_password"
gitlab_ rails['smtp_domain'] = "example.com"
gitlab_ rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_ rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_ rails['smtp_tls'] = false
Run well-known commands
$ sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
This command will perform a series of operations based on the configured gitlab.rb file, install the dependency package, and start the Gitlab service.
View installation status
You can view the installation status of Gitlab services by using the following command:
$ sudo gitlab-ctl status
This command can check whether all components of the Gitlab service are running properly.
4、 Accessing Gitlab Services
After completing the above steps, you can access the Gitlab service through the external access link (external_url) you have configured.
Summary:
For software developers, the compilation and installation of Gitlab is the most basic operation. This article introduces how to download Gitlab source code, configure, and install Gitlab services, hoping to be helpful to users.
