GitLab #2115
Description
Activity
The Installation take 10-15min. Gitlab is Huge
The GitLab script is ready for testing:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/gitlab.sh)"Default credentials:
Username: rootThe initial root password is in /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password and is deleted automatically after 24 hours. Log in at http:// as 'root' and change it right away.
GitLab Omnibus is resource-hungry. 8 GB RAM and 4 cores are the practical minimum; the official requirement is 4 GB RAM plus swap and it will feel slow below 8 GB. The first 'gitlab-ctl reconfigure' during installation takes several minutes.
external_url is set to the container IP at install time. If you use a domain or a reverse proxy, change external_url in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and run 'gitlab-ctl reconfigure'.
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb sets package['modify_kernel_parameters'] = false. Omnibus otherwise runs 'sysctl -e --system' during reconfigure, which fails in an unprivileged LXC because most kernel keys are not writable. Do not remove that line.
Omnibus bundles its own PostgreSQL, Redis and NGINX - do not install those separately in this container. Repositories live in /var/opt/gitlab; back up with 'gitlab-backup create' rather than copying directories.Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.
