gitlab-ubuntu

Script(s) for installation of latest GitLab revision on Ubuntu 13.04. Might work with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as well.

Important: This script is still under development! Use with caution!

Execute

For example:

git clone https://github.com/johndoe75/gitlab-ubuntu.git
cd gitlab-ubuntu
sudo bash ethdev="eth0" gituser="git" \
	rev="5-2-stable" mysql_rootpass="GhuP3412,bv" \
	install-gitlab.sh

Any of the variables can be omitted. If you just want to install with defaults, just execute:

git clone https://github.com/johndoe75/gitlab-ubuntu.git
cd gitlab-ubuntu
sudo bash install-gitlab.sh

• {ethdev} is the ethernet device to use (Nginx)
• {rev} is the gitlab revision to install (e.g. 5-2-stable)
• {mysql_rootpass} is the root password of your MySQL installation. If no MySQL is installed yet on your system, omit this variable.

If you specify the mysql_rootpass, but don't want it to be stored in your bash history, just execute:

unset HISTFILE

prior executing the installation script.

Important: This script must be run as bash script. Don't use dash, don't use sh!

When installation is done

The IP where the webserver is running, is printed at the end of the installation. The default GitLab admin username and password are "admin@local.host", "5liveL!fe".

TODO

• Let the script configure GitLab for you (FQDN, Email, etc.).
• Give user more choices to setup GitLab.
• Give user choice to use PostgreSQL or MySQL
• …

I know, this is not the best style and it's still lacking error catching. Hope to find the time to improve it.
