Install Gitlab Fedora 16

I was using the very good guide found here: http://wasil.org/gitlab-installation-on-fedora-16-with-gitolite however there were quite a few things that didn’t work with my Rackspace Install of Fedora 16 so I have updated below:

yum update
yum install make openssh-clients gcc libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel python-devel httpd mysql mysql-server mysql-devel gcc-c++ curl-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel sqlite-devel libicu-devel sendmail redis
systemctl start mysqld.service
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

Remember the password you set here!

systemctl enable mysqld.service
adduser -r -m --shell /bin/bash --comment 'git version control' git
mkdir /home/git/.ssh
chown git:git -R /home/git/.ssh
ssh-keygen -q -o -N '' -t rsa -f /home/git/.ssh/id_rsa
usermod -s /bin/bash -d /var/www/ -G git apache
mkdir /var/www/.ssh
cp -f /home/git/.ssh/id_rsa* /var/www/.ssh/ && chown apache:apache /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa* && chmod 600 /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa*
sudo -u apache ssh-keyscan localhost >> /var/www/.ssh/known_hosts
chown -R apache:apache /var/www

Install Ruby

sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -sk https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p194 --with-openssl
rvm all do gem update --system
rvm all do gem install rails
rvm all do gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module

Add to httpd.conf – vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12

Install Gitolite

yum install -y gitolite
curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python
easy_install pip
cd /var/www
git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git
cd /var/www/gitlabhq/
pip install pygments
rvm all do gem install bundler
bundle install --deployment --without development test
service redis start
chkconfig redis on
cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

Set database and host config

vi config/database.yml

Change “Secure password” to one set earlier

vi config/gitlab.yml

Change host and others to what required

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:setup
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:seed_fu
sed -i 's/0077/0007/g' /usr/share/gitolite/conf/example.gitolite.rc
su - git -c "gl-setup -q /home/git/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"

Clean up permissions or you won’t be able to browse code in Gitlab

chown -R git:git /home/git/
chmod 770 /home/git/repositories/
chmod 770 /home/git/
chmod 600 -R /home/git/.ssh/
chmod 700 /home/git/.ssh/
chmod 600 /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/gitlabhq
chown apache:root -R /usr/local/rvm/gems/
chmod 770 /home/git/
chmod go-w /home/git/

systemctl start httpd.service
