Installing gitlab-ce on a Debian system.

---

The pre-requisites:

• Self Hosted Web Server using Apache 2.4
• Available Domain with DNS set up
• Self-Signed Certificate is established as backup
• Letsencrypt, using certbot, is established and working

If you are missing some of these pre-requisites, please visit the Apache Survival Tutorial I created which covers these topics.

sudo apt install gitlab-ce
sudo nano /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

In this file, you need to edit 6 lines. The Gitlab Tutorial requests an additional line be adjusted and also forgets to specify that gitlab_workhorse should be enabled.

external_url 'http://gitlab.example.fr'
gitlab_workhorse['enable'] = true
gitlab_workhorse['listen_network'] = "tcp"
gitlab_workhorse['listen_addr'] = "127.0.0.1:8181"
web_server['external_users'] = ['www-data']
nginx['enable'] = false
