How to install GitLab CE to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS_gitlab-ce lts-优快云博客

本文详细介绍了如何在Ubuntu 18.04 LTS上安装和配置GitLab CE，包括安装必要的依赖项如curl、openssh-server、ca-certificates和Postfix，设置GitLab包仓库，以及安装GitLab CE包。首次访问GitLab时，用户将被引导至密码重置页面，使用默认的root账号登录。

install GitLab CE to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Install and configure the necessary dependencies

sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates

Next, install Postfix to send notification emails. If you want to use another solution to send emails please skip this step and configure an external SMTP server after GitLab has been installed.

sudo apt-get install -y postfix

During Postfix installation a configuration screen may appear. Select ‘Internet Site’ and press enter. Use your server’s external DNS for ‘mail name’ and press enter. If additional screens appear, continue to press enter to accept the defaults.

Add the GitLab package repository and install the package
Add the GitLab package repository.

curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

Next, install the GitLab package. Change http://gitlab.example.com to the URL at which you want to access your GitLab instance. Installation will automatically configure and start GitLab at that URL. HTTPS requires additional configuration after installation.

sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.example.com" apt-get install gitlab-ce

Browse to the hostname and login
On your first visit, you’ll be redirected to a password reset screen. Provide the password for the initial administrator account and you will be redirected back to the login screen. Use the default account’s username root to login.

See our documentation for detailed instructions on installing and configuration.
