GitLab is an AI-powered software development platform that combines development (Dev), Security, and Operations to streamline the entire software delivery pipeline. It offers a range of features, including CI\/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery), Flexibility and Control, Built-in Security, and, as mentioned above, AI-powered capabilities. GitLab provides tools for version control, issue tracking, project planning, automated deployments, etc. This blog post will cover the installation and configuration of GitLab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing GitLab on Debian 13 is straightforward and may take up to 20 minutes. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee849a63345\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee849a63345\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-gitlab-on-debian-13\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-gitlab-on-debian-13\/#Step-1-Update-the-System\" >Step 1.

Update the System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start with the installation of GitLab, we will update the system packages to their latest versions. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt update -y &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-gitlab\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-Gitlab\"><\/span>Step 2. Install Gitlab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start with the installation process, we need to install some necessary packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https ca-certificates tzdata perl -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the prerequisites are installed, the next step is to add the GitLab repo, since it is not available in Debian 13&#8217;s default repo. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">    curl -fsSL https:\/\/packages.gitlab.com\/gitlab\/gitlab-ce\/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o \/usr\/share\/keyrings\/gitlab-ce-archive-keyring.gpg\n    echo \"deb [signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/gitlab-ce-archive-keyring.gpg] https:\/\/packages.gitlab.com\/gitlab\/gitlab-ce\/debian bookworm main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/gitlab_gitlab-ce.list\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the repository is set up, update the system and install GitLab with the commands below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt update\n\nsudo apt install gitlab-ce -y\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should allow a couple of minutes, and once the installation is complete, it should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">It looks like GitLab has not been configured yet; skipping the upgrade script.\n         .                        ..\n        :c:                      ,cc'\n       :ccc:                    'cccc.\n      :ccccc,                   cccccc\n     .ccccccc                  :cccccc:\n     cccccccc:                .cccccccc'\n    :ccccccccc;..............'cccccccccc'\n   cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'\n  :ooolccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccllooo\n  ooooooollccccccccccccccccccccccclooooooo\n  ;ooooooooollcccccccccccccccccloooooooool\n   oooooooooooolccccccccccccloooooooooooo.\n    .ooooooooooooolcccccclloooooooooooo;\n       cooooooooooooolllooooooooooooo.\n          loooooooodxkkxddoooooooo.\n            .ooodxkkkkkkkkxdooo;\n               .kkkkkkkkkkkk:\n                  ;kkkkkkx\n                     :d\n\nThank you for installing GitLab!\nGitLab was unable to detect a valid hostname for your instance.\nPlease configure a URL for your GitLab instance by setting `external_url`\nconfiguration in \/etc\/gitlab\/gitlab.rb file.\nThen, you can start your GitLab instance by running the following command:\n  sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-configure-gitlab\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Configure-GitLab\"><\/span>Step 3. Configure GitLab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GitLab is successfully installed, but the hostname or domain is not configured yet. As it is explained in the output, let&#8217;s configure the hostname in the <strong>\/etc\/gitlab\/gitlab.rb<\/strong> file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo nano \/etc\/gitlab\/gitlab.rb\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the <strong>external_url<\/strong> and configure it to use your domain name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">external_url 'http:\/\/YourDomainNameHere'\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file, close it, and execute the following command to apply the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of reconfiguring will start, and you should allow another couple of minutes for its completion. Once done, you will receive output like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Notes:\nDefault admin account has been configured with following details:\nUsername: root\nPassword: You didn't opt-in to print initial root password to STDOUT.\nPassword stored to \/etc\/gitlab\/initial_root_password. This file will be cleaned up in first reconfigure run after 24 hours.\n\nNOTE: Because these credentials might be present in your log files in plain text, it is highly recommended to reset the password following https:\/\/docs.gitlab.com\/ee\/security\/reset_user_password.html#reset-your-root-password.\n\ngitlab Reconfigured!\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The root password is stored in \/etc\/gitlab\/initial_root_password, and to check it, you can run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cat \/etc\/gitlab\/initial_root_password\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can save the password, as this file will be cleaned up during the first reconfigure run after 24 hours. If you do not save it somehow and lose it after the file is cleaned, you can reset the root password with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo gitlab-rake \"gitlab:password:reset[root]\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After executing this command, you will have to enter a new root password twice, and the password will be reset:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# sudo gitlab-rake \"gitlab:password:reset[root]\"\nEnter password: YourStrongPasswordHere\nConfirm password: YourStrongPasswordHere\nPassword successfully updated for user with username root.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong>\/etc\/gitlab\/gitlab.rb<\/strong> file allows us to configure various settings, including email settings, themes, roles, proxies, allowed hosts, and more. For example, to configure the email setting, you need to use the following settings with your SMTP server values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true<\/strong>\ngitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = \"smtp.server\"\ngitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 465\ngitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = \"smtp user\"\ngitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = \"smtp password\"\ngitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = \"example.com\"\ngitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = \"login\"\ngitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true\ngitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false\ngitlab_rails['smtp_pool'] = false\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-access-gitlab-user-interface\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Access-GitLab-User-Interface\"><\/span>Step 4.
