GitLab now available in BitNami: installer, VM, cloud

• niggler 14y ago
  Gitlab has many moving parts. It's very nice to see a VM deployment! But I wonder if an entire rewrite is needed at this point.

    Any popular project that is written in Rails, like GitLab or Redmine, typically gets tricky to install real quick because of all the third-party dependencies. This is particularly true if the person installing it is not a developer or it is installing it on Windows or OS X. Gitlab is a bit more trickier than usual because it needs ssh configuration, etc. We are always looking for feedback on how to improve the process

      "because of all the third-party dependencies." In my experience, nodejs has many third-party modules but npm never felt as clunky as ruby gems. Ever think of rewriting? :)

      An offline installer package as an 'all-in-one' option would certainly help us. Even if it's huge. Edit: is that exactly what one of TFA describes as an option?

        We offer those on BitNami for Linux, Windows and OS X: http://bitnami.org/stack/gitlab http://bitnami.org/stack/gitlab (free installers and VMs as well as cloud templates)

          When I go to that page, I only see Linux installers (a .run file). Where are the installers for Mac/Windows?

          Edit: Sorry - I posted too soon. The installers for Windows and OS X are still in the works, but will be available soon.

  Up until now Gitlab has been very unstable. 5.X promises to be much better on that front because they are replacing gitolite. The Gitlab <-> gitolite synchronization is the cause of most of my grief.
