GitLab Yum Docker

1. Introduction

GitLab is a web-based Git repository manager that provides a complete DevOps platform. It allows teams to collaborate on code, track issues, and manage their CI/CD pipelines. One of the installation methods for GitLab is using Yum and Docker. This article will guide you through the steps to install GitLab using Yum and Docker, along with code examples.

2. Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Linux server with Docker installed
  • Root or sudo access to the server
  • Knowledge of basic Linux commands

3. Installation Steps

3.1. Install Docker

First, we need to install Docker on our server. Use the following commands:

$ sudo yum install docker -y
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl enable docker

3.2. Pull GitLab Docker Image

Next, we need to pull the GitLab Docker image from the Docker Hub. Run the following command:

$ sudo docker pull gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

3.3. Run GitLab Container

Now, we can run the GitLab container using the pulled image. Use the following command:

$ sudo docker run --detach \
  --hostname gitlab.example.com \
  --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 \
  --name gitlab \
  --restart always \
  --volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
  --volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
  --volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
  gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

In the above command, make sure to replace "gitlab.example.com" with your own domain or IP address.

3.4. Access GitLab Web Interface

Once the container is up and running, you can access the GitLab web interface using your browser. Open " in your browser, and you should see the GitLab login page.

4. Gantt Chart

Below is a Gantt chart representing the installation steps mentioned above:

5. State Diagram

Below is a state diagram representing the different states of the GitLab container:

    [*] --> Down
    Down --> Up : Start Container
    Up --> Down : Stop Container
    Down --> [*] : Destroy Container
    Up --> Restart : Restart Container
    Restart --> Up : Successfully Restarted

6. Conclusion

In this article, we learned how to install GitLab using Yum and Docker. We covered the installation steps and provided code examples for each step. We also included a Gantt chart to visualize the installation process and a state diagram to represent the different states of the GitLab container. With this knowledge, you can now set up your own GitLab instance and start collaborating with your team. Happy coding!
