how to install gitlab on your own server

Now you're gitlab is ready, all you have to do now is to create subdomain that you used ex: gitlab for your domain. Now save the file and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure then gitlab-ctl restart in order changes take effect. in order to fix that.ġ- open your gitlab.rb configuration file: nano /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rbĢ- make sure your external_url is set correctly like: ģ- find and set nginx = false, it's commented by default, remove # from the beginning of the line to uncomment.Ĥ- find and set web_server = it's very important since directadmin is not using default apache user 'To set smtp server create an email account in your directadmin and then set it by updating following configurations: gitlab_rails = true the problem is that gitlab is bundled with nginx by default and it will break your apache setup. If you're a beginner like me you should know these two things:ġ- all the configurations are in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rbĢ- every time you change gitlab.rb you have to run gitlab-ctl reconfigure and gitlab-ctl restart

It took me a day to figure out how to do it and i'm gonna share it with others, hope it helps!
