<\/div>

\"how-to-install-gitlab-ruby-and-nginx-on-debian-7-wheezy-vps\"<\/a>GitLab is a fast, secure and stable solution to manage your projects. It is a self hosted Git management software based on Ruby on Rails and has a free and open-source license.<\/p>\n

GitLab is one of the most installed git management applications in the world. With GitLab you can create projects and repositories, manage access and do code review.<\/p>\n

In the following article we are going to show you how you can deploy GitLab on one of our Debian VPS hosting<\/a> plans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before proceeding any further with the installation, fire up a screen<\/code> session by running:<\/p>\n

screen -U -S gitlab-install<\/pre>\n
and then make sure your Debian Wheezy server<\/a> is fully up-to-date by executing the following commands:<\/p>\n
apt-get update\r\napt-get upgrade<\/pre>\n
Next, proceed with installing some required packages. Do this by executing:<\/p>\n
apt-get install sudo vim dialog build-essential zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev curl git-core openssh-server redis-server checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev python-docutils<\/pre>\n
Then, set-up vim<\/code> as your default editor by:<\/p>\n
update-alternatives --set editor \/usr\/bin\/vim.basic<\/pre>\n
once that’s completed, next thing to do is to verify you have the correct python version on your Debian Wheezy VPS<\/a>. The Python version has to be greater than 2.5 and lower than 3.0+<\/p>\n
apt-get install -y python\r\npython --version\r\nPython 2.7.3<\/pre>\n
now check if you can access python shell via ‘python2’:<\/p>\n
test ! -e \/usr\/bin\/python2 && ln -s \/usr\/bin\/python \/usr\/bin\/python2\r\npython2 --version\r\nPython 2.7.3<\/pre>\n
if everything is ok so far, then we are ready to compile and install ruby from source, so proceed by running the following commands:<\/p>\n
mkdir -p \/opt\/ruby && cd \/opt\/ruby\r\ncurl --progress ftp:\/\/ftp.ruby-lang.org\/pub\/ruby\/2.0\/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz | tar xz\r\ncd ruby-2.0.0-p247\r\n.\/configure\r\nmake\r\nmake install<\/pre>\n
once ruby is compiled and installed on the system, install the bundler<\/code> ruby gem with the following command:<\/p>\n
gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc<\/pre>\n
Next, set-up ‘git’ system user and gitlab-shell for GitLab<\/p>\n
adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'GitLab' git<\/pre>\n
cd \/home\/git\r\nsudo -u git -H git clone https:\/\/github.com\/gitlabhq\/gitlab-shell.git\r\ncd gitlab-shell<\/pre>\n
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.7.1\r\nsudo -u git -H cp config.yml.example config.yml\r\nsudo -u git -H vim config.yml<\/pre>\n
make sure you replace gitlab_url<\/code> with your desired URL<\/em><\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H .\/bin\/install<\/pre>\n
The next step is to set-up your MySQL database server:<\/p>\n
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev<\/pre>\n
enter your desired MySQL ‘root’ password when prompted<\/em><\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p\r\nmysql> CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `gitlabDB` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8` COLLATE `utf8_unicode_ci`;\r\nmysql> GRANT ALL ON `gitlabDB`.* TO 'gitlab'@'localhost' identified by '<YOUR_DB_PASS>';\r\nmysql> \\q<\/pre>\n
Once you created the database that will be used by the GitLab application, proceed with the installation of GitLab:<\/p>\n
cd \/home\/git\r\nsudo -u git -H git clone https:\/\/github.com\/gitlabhq\/gitlabhq.git gitlab\r\ncd \/home\/git\/gitlab\r\nsudo -u git -H git checkout 6-0-stable\r\n\r\ncd \/home\/git\/gitlab\r\nsudo -u git -H cp config\/gitlab.yml.example config\/gitlab.yml\r\nsudo -u git -H vim config\/gitlab.yml<\/pre>\n
change the host<\/code> variable to your desired URL<\/em><\/p>\n
next, set-up some necessary directory permissions:<\/p>\n
chown -R git log\/\r\nchown -R git tmp\/\r\nchmod -R u+rwX  log\/\r\nchmod -R u+rwX  tmp\/\r\nsudo -u git -H mkdir \/home\/git\/gitlab-satellites\r\nsudo -u git -H mkdir tmp\/pids\/\r\nsudo -u git -H mkdir tmp\/sockets\/\r\nchmod -R u+rwX  tmp\/pids\/\r\nchmod -R u+rwX  tmp\/sockets\/\r\nsudo -u git -H mkdir public\/uploads\r\nchmod -R u+rwX  public\/uploads<\/pre>\n
and proceed with configuring the unicorn<\/code> HTTP server:<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H cp config\/unicorn.rb.example config\/unicorn.rb\r\nsudo -u git -H vim config\/unicorn.rb<\/pre>\n
make sure you tune unicorn<\/code> to suit your needs. be careful how much resources you allocate and actually have. you can always start with something like worker_processes 1<\/code> and timeout 120<\/code><\/em><\/p>\n
finally, perform the following git configuration:<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H git config --global user.name \"GitLab\"\r\nsudo -u git -H git config --global user.email \"gitlab@<YOUR_URL>\"\r\nsudo -u git -H git config --global core.autocrlf input<\/pre>\n
next thing to do is to set-up the database connection. Do this by executing the following commands:<\/p>\n
sudo -u git cp config\/database.yml.mysql config\/database.yml\r\nsudo -u git -H vim config\/database.yml<\/pre>\n
make sure you change the following under the production<\/code> section:<\/em><\/p>\n
database: gitlabDB\r\nusername: gitlab\r\npassword: \"<YOUR_DB_PASS>\"<\/pre>\n
sudo -u git -H chmod o-rwx config\/database.yml<\/pre>\n
install some other required ruby gems:<\/p>\n
cd \/home\/git\/gitlab\r\ngem install charlock_holmes --version '0.6.9.4'\r\nsudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws<\/pre>\n
initialize the database<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production<\/pre>\n
make sure to type ‘yes’ when prompted<\/em><\/p>\n
proceed with setting-up gitlab’s init script<\/p>\n
cp lib\/support\/init.d\/gitlab \/etc\/init.d\/gitlab\r\nchmod +x \/etc\/init.d\/gitlab\r\nupdate-rc.d gitlab defaults 21<\/pre>\n
then check gitlab application status and start the appliaction by running:<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production\r\nservice gitlab start<\/pre>\n
The final step is to install and set-up Nginx in front of GitLab:<\/p>\n
apt-get install nginx\r\nrm -f \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default\r\ncp lib\/support\/nginx\/gitlab \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/gitlab\r\nln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/gitlab \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/gitlab<\/pre>\n
vim \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/gitlab<\/pre>\n
make sure to change server_name YOUR_SERVER_FQDN<\/code> to server_name <YOUR_URL><\/code><\/em><\/p>\n
finally, restart nginx by executing:<\/p>\n
service nginx restart<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
navigate to http:\/\/<YOUR_URL> and login using:<\/p>\n
login………admin@local.host
\npassword……5iveL!fe<\/p>\n
