GitLab

Yes it's Ruby. Yes it's time for yet another shitty "solution to everything" framework... sigh...

Configure

• admin console

• docs

• To turn on/off registration:

Admin > Settings > General > Signup restrictions

Tools

sudo gitlab-ctl # to see commands

sudo gitlab-ctl stop
sudo gitlab-ctl tail

• to get to a rails console:

sudo gitlab-rails console

Install

• set up shitcutter.com in domains.google.com and certbot

• Set up haproxy redirection; see haproxy.cfg for details. Note that you will be redirecting shitcutter.com https to glam:8095 http.

• Install up to the point where you configure

• configure; see MDM comments

sudo emacs /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

• build

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure # whoa, this builds/bakes everything

• fix root pw RIGHT AWAY

sudo gitlab-rake "gitlab:password:reset[root]"

• browse to admin console and get configuring; for now, turn off sign-up (if anyone wants in later, we can turn it on as it has admin approval turned on)

SSH

Being able to ssh to the gitlab host machine is essential to host code. You need to add your SSH keys to your profile to use git with GitLab.

Once you add your [.ssh/id_ed25519.pub] key to your GitLab profile, this is the test to make sure GitLab has your ssh key:

ssh -T git@shitcutter.com

WARNING: Took me a while to realize THERE'S NO DIRECT SSH PATHWAY to shitcutter.com, as it's on proxmox VM glam. I had to update [.ssh/config] to use bitpost.com as a jump server to get to glam from shitcutter.com ssh requests, like I do with morosoph. NICE!

# Allow shitcutter-via-bitpost for gitlab
Host shitcutter.com sc shit
   ProxyCommand ssh -q bitpost.com nc -q0 glam 22

SMTP

• again, see /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
