What is GitLab?

Version Control on your Server

like GitHub but Open Source

- Git repository management, code reviews, issue tracking, activity feeds, wikis and continuous integration

- 25,000 users on one server or a highly available active/active cluster, LDAP/AD group sync and audit logging

- Community driven, 700+ contributors, inspect and modify the source, easy to integrate into your infrastructure

- GitLab runs on your own servers, if you want to use it without installing, see our[free GitLab.com service](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com)

How to use this image

We assume using a data volume container, this will simplify migrations and backups. This empty container will exist to persist as volumes the 3 directories used by GitLab, so remember not to delete it.

The directories on data container are:

-`/var/opt/gitlab` for application data

-`/var/log/gitlab` for logs

-`/etc/gitlab` for configuration

Create the data container with:

sudo docker run --name gitlab_data --volume /var/opt/gitlab --volume /var/log/gitlab --volume /etc/gitlab genezys/gitlab:8.3.4 /bin/true

After creating this, run GitLab:

sudo docker run --detach --name gitlab_app --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --volumes-from gitlab_data genezys/gitlab:8.3.4

It might take a while before the docker container is responding to queries. You can follow the configuration process with`docker logs -f gitlab_app`.

You can then go to`http://localhost:8080/` (or`http://192.168.59.103:8080/` if you use boot2docker). You can login with username`root` and password`5iveL!fe`. Next time, you can just use`sudo docker start gitlab_app` and`sudo docker stop gitlab_app`.

Using Docker Compose

You can download the`docker-compose.yml` file directly from the project repository. It will create a`data` container with the 3 volumes and an`app` container using the volumes of`data`.

To start the application using its default configuration, just run:

docker-compose up -d

How to configure GitLab

This container uses the official Omnibus GitLab distribution, so all configuration is done in the unique configuration file`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.

To access GitLab configuration, you can start an interactive command line in a new container using the shared data volume container, you will be able to browse the 3 directories and use your favorite text editor:

docker run -ti -e TERM=linux --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu

vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

**Note** that GitLab will reconfigure itself**at each container start.** You will need to restart the container to reconfigure your GitLab.

You can find all available options in[Omnibus GitLab documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#configuration).
