Installing GitLab

In this chapter, we will discuss several ways of installing GitLab. We will start with the recommended way of installing GitLab on your own machine, using the omnibus installer. Secondly, we will show how to do a complete install from the GitLab source files. This will all take place on the Debian Linux platform. Then, we will move to a more modern way of running an application, by showing you how to use a Kubernetes orchestrator. Finally, we will demonstrate installation using a cloud platform, DigitalOcean. They have predefined GitLab images that are internally configured using the omnibus installer.

In this chapter, the following points will be covered:

Installing using omnibus packages
Running from source files
Using GitLab from Docker
Deploying GitLab using Kubernetes
Creating droplets on DigitalOcean

Evertse

Joost Evertse is an all-round professional with over 20 years of experience in IT in the financial and telecom sectors. He has worked for big and small organizations and has lived in different worlds, including Unix, Oracle, Java, and Windows. Creating order from chaos has been a big focus during his system-engineering years. After 10 years of system administration, he moved into software development and started using CI/CD tools, including GitLab. At the end of 2016, he started at a significant financial company in the GitLab team, shifting his focus more toward the entire CI/CD pipeline, with the mission of making the CI/CD platform more stable and highly available. His team eventually migrated GitLab to a private cloud and improved release cycles.
