How To configure Git Inhouse server

Requirement

·         GitLab on CentOS 7

·         Ruby versions 2.3

·         Nginx

·         1 core CPU can support upto 100 users but recommended 2 core CPU which can easily support up to 500 users.

·         At least 2GB memory combining both RAM and swap. Apart from this we will need to install all the required dependencies

For OS complete Update

yum -y update

For install Openssh server & client and enable ssh

yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients sudo systemctl enable sshd sudo systemctl start sshd

For install dependency

yum -y install curl policycoreutils postfix sudo systemctl enable postfix sudo systemctl start postfix

For enable http & https globally access

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https sudo

For restart firewall

systemctl reload firewalld

For download gitlab repo

curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

For install gitlab community edition

yum -y install gitlab-ce

gitlab-ctl reconfigure

http://serverIPaddress

For change external URL change

Edit  /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file and change 

external_url 'http://gitlab.example.com'

gitlab-ctl reconfigure   & gitlab-ctl restart

For enable SSL for gitlab

Create the /etc/gitlab/ssl directory and copy your key and certificate there. Now run gitlab-ctl reconfigure . When the reconfigure finishes your GitLab instance should be reachable at https://gitlab.example.com . If you are using a firewall you may have to open port 443 to allow inbound HTTPS traffic as well as need to change external URL again.


Gitlab standered repository path : /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories

For Git backup either clone repo or just copy paste whole repositories folder

for uninstall run

/gitlab-ctl uninstall
