Step-by-Step Instruction to install Gitlab on Docker
- Create a directory for the project:
1 2
mkdir gitlab-on-docker cd gitlab-on-docker
- Check the Docker Desktop configuration to get the allowed virtual file shares:
- Navigate to Docker Desktop App -> Settings -> Resources -> File Sharing -> Virtual File Shares
Note: Add a custom path which will be used to store the Gitlab configuration and data (pipelines,env’s, variables, etc.)
- Create an .env file in the same directory and the below path to define the Gitlab home directory (should be one of the allowed file share in docker desktop):
1
export $GITLAB_HOME=/Users/<user-name>/gitlab-local
Create a docker-compose.yml and add the below content:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
version: '3.6' services: gitlab: image: gitlab/gitlab-ee:latest container_name: gitlab restart: always hostname: 'localhost' environment: GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: | # Add any other gitlab.rb configuration here, each on its own line external_url 'http://localhost' ports: - '80:80' - '443:443' - '22:22' volumes: - '/$GITLAB_HOME/config:/etc/gitlab' - '/$GITLAB_HOME/logs:/var/log/gitlab' - '/$GITLAB_HOME/data:/var/opt/gitlab' shm_size: '256m'
Get the password sudo cat $GITLAB_HOME/config/initial_root_password
- Open the browser and navigate to https://localhost and you should land on the Gitlab Login page.
