\"How<\/p>\n

We’ll show you how to install GitLab on CentOS 7. GitLab is a self-hosted git repository management system. It is used by more than 100,000 organizations worldwide. Today we will show you how to install GitLab on your CentOS VPS<\/a>. For instructions about how to install GitLab on an Ubuntu\u00a0VPS<\/a>, you can check our Install GitLab on Debian<\/a>\u00a0tutorial. Installing GitLab on CentOS 7 is fairly easy task and it should take 10 minutes for the installation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To run GitLab on your server you will need to have Ruby 2.0 or 2.1 installed on your server. GitLab requires 2 CPU cores and 2GB of RAM so it can support up to 500 users. This makes our SSD 2 VPS hosting plan<\/a> suitable for your needs. You will need to have MySQL or PostgreSL and Redis. Additional packages will be installed. When it comes to\u00a0this tutorial, we are using our CentOS 6 64bit full template.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Add the\u00a0required repositories to your system<\/h3>\n

The first step is to add the required repositories to your system. You can do this\u00a0using the following commands:<\/p>\n

wget -O \/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 https:\/\/www.fedoraproject.org\/static\/0608B895.txt\nrpm --import \/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6\nrpm -Uvh http:\/\/dl.fedoraproject.org\/pub\/epel\/6\/x86_64\/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm\nwget -O \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/PUIAS_6_computational.repo https:\/\/gitlab.com\/gitlab-org\/gitlab-recipes\/raw\/master\/install\/centos\/PUIAS_6_computational.repo\nwget -O \/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias http:\/\/springdale.math.ias.edu\/data\/puias\/6\/x86_64\/os\/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias\nrpm --import \/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias<\/pre>\n
Step 2: Installing the required packages<\/h3>\n
Next thing you need to do is update all your system software, remove the unnecessary packages and install the required packages.<\/p>\n
yum update -y\nyum remove git httpd sendmail -y\nyum -y install nginx zlib-devel openssl-devel git redis perl-CPAN ncurses-devel gdbm-devel glibc-devel tcl-devel curl-devel byacc db4-devel sqlite-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libffi libffi-devel libxslt libxslt-devel libyaml libyaml-devel libicu libicu-devel system-config-firewall-tui sudo wget crontabs gettext perl-Time-HiRes cmake gettext-devel readline readline-devel libcom_err-devel.i686 libcom_err-devel.x86_64 expat-devel logwatch logrotate patch\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3: Create user<\/h3>\n
Create a system user for GitLab:<\/p>\n
adduser --shell \/bin\/bash --home-dir \/home\/git\/ git<\/pre>\n
Now edit the ‘\/etc\/sudoers’ file and add ‘\/usr\/local\/bin’ at the end of:<\/p>\n
Defaults    secure_path = \/sbin:\/bin:\/usr\/sbin:\/usr\/bin<\/pre>\n
It should look like this:<\/p>\n
Defaults    secure_path = \/sbin:\/bin:\/usr\/sbin:\/usr\/bin:\/usr\/local\/bin<\/pre>\n
Step 4:\u00a0Download Git source<\/h3>\n
Download Git source and extract it in your ‘\/tmp’ directory. At the moment of writing, the latest version available is 2.1.3.<\/p>\n
mkdir \/tmp\/git\ncd \/tmp\/git\nwget https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/software\/scm\/git\/git-2.1.3.tar.gz \ntar -xzvf git-2.1.3.tar.gz\ncd git-2.1.3\/\n.\/configure\nmake\nmake prefix=\/usr\/local install\n\n\"install<\/pre>\n
Step 5: Download and install Ruby<\/h3>\n
After doing this, you will need to download and install Ruby on your CentOS VPS<\/a>. At the moment of writing, the latest version available is 2.1.5.<\/p>\n
mkdir \/tmp\/ruby\ncd \/tmp\/ruby\nwget ftp:\/\/ftp.ruby-lang.org\/pub\/ruby\/2.1\/ruby-2.1.5.tar.gz \ntar -xzvf ruby-2.1.5.tar.gz\ncd ruby-2.1.5\n.\/configure --disable-install-rdoc\nmake\nmake prefix=\/usr\/local install<\/pre>\n
Step 6: Create new database<\/h3>\n
Once\u00a0the installation of\u00a0Ruby is completed, it is time to create a database. You can do this\u00a0using the following commands:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p \nCREATE USER 'git'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PaSsWoRd';\nCREATE DATABASE `gitlabdb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8` COLLATE `utf8_unicode_ci`;\nGRANT ALL ON `gitlabdb`.* TO 'git'@'localhost';<\/pre>\n
Do not forget to change ‘PaSsWoRd’ with a password of your choice.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Configure Redis<\/h3>\n
Now, let’s configure Redis. Open the ‘\/etc\/redis.conf’ file with an editor of your choice and set ‘port 0’.<\/p>\n
port 0<\/pre>\n
Then, add the following lines at the end of the file:<\/p>\n
unixsocket \/var\/run\/redis\/redis.sock\nunixsocketperm 0775<\/pre>\n
Restart the service and add git to the redis group:<\/p>\n
service redis restart\nusermod -aG redis git<\/pre>\n
Step 7: Install GitLab on CentOS 7<\/h3>\n
Now, let’s install GitLab. We assume that you have a full root access to your Linux VPS<\/a> so you should execute all these commands as root. Also, you can change the ‘7-4-stable’ to the latest stable version available.<\/p>\n
cd \/home\/git\nsudo -u git -H git clone https:\/\/gitlab.com\/gitlab-org\/gitlab-ce.git -b 7-4-stable gitlab\ncd \/home\/git\/gitlab\nsudo -u git -H cp config\/gitlab.yml.example config\/gitlab.yml<\/pre>\n
Edit ‘config\/gitlab.yml’ and follow the instructions at the top of the file.<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H nano config\/gitlab.yml<\/pre>\n
Execute the commands:<\/p>\n
chown -R git log\/\nchmod -R u+rwX log\/\nchown -R git tmp\/\nchmod -R u+rwX tmp\/\nchmod -R u+rwX tmp\/sockets\/\nchmod -R u+rwX tmp\/pids\/\nchmod -R u+rwX  public\/uploads\nsudo -u git -H mkdir \/home\/git\/gitlab-satellites\nchmod u+rwx,g=rx,o-rwx \/home\/git\/gitlab-satellites<\/pre>\n
Then, copy the ‘config\/unicorn.rb.example’ file to ‘config\/unicorn.rb’. Edit the ‘config\/unicorn.rb’ file and set the number of workers to match the number of cores on your CentOS VPS.<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H cp config\/unicorn.rb.example config\/unicorn.rb\nsudo -u git -H nano config\/unicorn.rb<\/pre>\n
Please note, ‘unicorn.rb’ and ‘gitlab.yml’ should contain\u00a0the same information.<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H cp config\/initializers\/rack_attack.rb.example config\/initializers\/rack_attack.rb\nsudo -u git -H cp config\/resque.yml.example config\/resque.yml<\/pre>\n
Now, copy ‘config\/database.yml.mysql’ to ‘config\/database.yml’ and edit the file. Please note that you will need to change the secure password with your ‘PaSsWoRd’ value.<\/p>\n
sudo -u git cp config\/database.yml.mysql config\/database.yml\nsudo -u git -H nano config\/database.yml\nsudo -u git -H chmod o-rwx config\/database.yml<\/pre>\n
Install Bundler, gems, GitLab shell and initialize the database.<\/p>\n
gem install bundler\ncd \/home\/git\/gitlab\nsudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws\nsudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:install[v2.1.0] REDIS_URL=unix:\/var\/run\/redis\/redis.sock RAILS_ENV=production\nrestorecon -Rv \/home\/git\/.ssh\nsudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:setup RAILS_ENV=production GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD=YourPassword<\/pre>\n
Please change ‘YourPassword’ with your password. Also, you can review and modify the ‘config.yml’ file.<\/p>\n
sudo -u git -H nano \/home\/git\/gitlab-shell\/config.yml<\/pre>\n
Step 8: Install init script<\/h3>\n
We are approaching the\u00a0end of this tutorial. It is now time to install the init script. You can use the following commands:<\/p>\n
wget -O \/etc\/init.d\/gitlab https:\/\/gitlab.com\/gitlab-org\/gitlab-recipes\/raw\/master\/init\/sysvinit\/centos\/gitlab-unicorn\nchmod +x \/etc\/init.d\/gitlab\nchkconfig --add gitlab<\/pre>\n
Set the logrotate, check the status, compile the assets and then start the GitLab:<\/p>\n
cp lib\/support\/logrotate\/gitlab \/etc\/logrotate.d\/gitlab\nsudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production\nsudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production\nservice gitlab start<\/pre>\n
Step 9: Configure Nginx<\/h3>\n
OK, it is time to configure Nginx on your server and generate an SSL.<\/p>\n
get -O \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/gitlab.conf https:\/\/gitlab.com\/gitlab-org\/gitlab-ce\/raw\/master\/lib\/support\/nginx\/gitlab-ssl\n<\/pre>\n
mkdir \/etc\/nginx\/ssl\ncd \/etc\/nginx\/ssl\/\nopenssl genrsa -des3 -out gitlab.key 1024\nopenssl req -new -key gitlab.key -out gitlab.csr\ncp gitlab.key gitlab.key.org\nopenssl rsa -in gitlab.key.org -out gitlab.key\nopenssl x509 -req -days 365 -in gitlab.csr -signkey gitlab.key -out gitlab.crt<\/pre>\n
Edit the ‘\/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/gitlab.conf’ file to match your FQDN and your SSL path. Also, you will need to comment the following lines:<\/p>\n
#  listen [::]:80 default_server;\n#  listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;<\/pre>\n
Finally, run the following commands:<\/p>\n
usermod -a -G git nginx\nchmod g+rx \/home\/git\/\nservice nginx start\nchkconfig gitlab on\nchkconfig nginx on\nchkconfig redis on<\/pre>\n
That’s it. If you followed closely every single step of this tutorial, you should be able to access your newly installed GitLab using your domain name or your CentOS VPS<\/a> IP address. For example, if your IP address is 12.34.56.78 you need to enter https:\/\/12.34.56.78 .<\/p>\n
