• sqlite
• ubuntu/debian
• pygments lib - sudo pip install pygments
• gitosis

Install Project

git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git
cd gitlabhq/

# install this library first
sudo pip install pygments
sudo apt-get install python-dev

# To install pygments using easy_install, then
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pygments

# Installing sqlite3 as database
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

# Install gems
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install --without development test
# If later it wouldn`t work with apache2 or nginx try
# sudo bundle install --path vendor/bundle
# (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3605235/rails-3-passenger-cant-find-git-gems-installed-by-bundler)

bundle exec rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=production
  
# create admin user 
# [email protected]
# pass.....5iveL!fe
bundle exec rake db:seed_fu RAILS_ENV=production

# you maybe need this to access gitosis
usermod -a -G git username

# give your user access to remove git repo 
# Ex.
#   If you are going to use user 'gitlabhq' for rails server
#   gitlabhq ALL = (git) NOPASSWD: /bin/rm" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers
#
echo "USERNAME ALL = (git) NOPASSWD: /bin/rm" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers


#
#
#
ssh localhost # type yes. it required once before you use gitlab

Install gitosis, edit /config/gitlab.yml & start server

From gitlabhq folder:

rails s -e production

or as daemon

rails s -e production -d

When you add new repository or ssh key for the first time, server console will ask for a password for your ssh key, if you have entered any.
