GitLab is a heavy app and needs at least 1GB RAM for the services to start. Even then on the first boot it does take a minute or 2 to get up and running... Otherwise it should work OOTB...

It has 2048MB. I've waited 5 minutes before trying to access the app in a browser and I  tried more than 2gb. I've also tried running joomla and same result. Whenever I try accessing it at http://192.168.56.1 it's always page not found or not available. Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Sounds like it might be a config issue on your end then...

If you are just testing or using as a dev machine then "host only" is fine. Otherwise "Bridged" is probably what you want. "NAT" (which I think VirtualBox defaults to IIRC) won't work...

Maybe there is something up with your settings or perhaps something wrong woith your network setup? FWIW the IP address 192.168.56.1 doesn't sound like a proper one (although I could be wrong).

If you want to try to troubleshoot some more let me know. Otherwise enjoy! :)
