GitLab

Self Hosted Git Management & DevOps Toolchain

GitLab is a single application for the entire software development lifecycle. From project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security. GitLab provides Git based version control, packaged with a complete DevOps toolchain. Somewhat like GitHub, but much, much more.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • GitLab configurations:
    • GitLab, RubyGems, PostgreSQL, Nginx and all other required components installed from upstream Omnibus package.
    • Set GitLab admin user ('root') password and email on firstboot (convenience, security).
    • Set GitLab domain to serve on first boot (convenience).
    • Enbale GitLab Omnibus built-in Let's Encrypt certificates via Confconsole plugin (under "Lets Encrypt").
  • Includes postfix MTA (bound to localhost) for sending of email (e.g. password recovery). Also includes webmin postfix module for convenience.

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

No default passwords: For security reasons there are no default passwords. All passwords are set at system initialization time.

Ignore SSL browser warning: browsers don't like self-signed SSL certificates, but this is the only kind that can be generated automatically. If you have a domain configured, then via Confconsole Advanced menu, you can generate free Let's Encypt SSL/TLS certificates.

Web - point your browser at either:

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
  2. https://12.34.56.789/ - encrypted with self-signed SSL certificate

Note: some appliances auto direct http to https.
