How to deploy GitLab on Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba Cloud is one of the leaders in the field of cloud computing. It has rich experience and leading technology in cloud computing services, and provides a variety of cloud computing services to meet different needs. GitLab is an open source code hosting and collaboration platform that helps teams better manage code, collaborate, and perform continuous integration. Next we will introduce how to deploy GitLab on Alibaba Cloud.

1. Create an instance on Alibaba Cloud

First, we need to create a cloud server instance on Alibaba Cloud. You can choose different instance types such as ECS, lightweight application server or container service, and select the corresponding configuration, region, operating system and other parameters according to your needs. After the instance is created, you can access the instance through the public IP.

2. Install GitLab

1. Update system

After the instance is created, you need to update the system software package, use the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

2. Install necessary software

GitLab requires some necessary software to run, including curl, openssh-server, ca-certificates, postfix, etc. These software can be installed using the following command:

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

3. Add GitLab source

Next, you need to add the official source of GitLab and import the GPG public key. You can use the following commands to add sources and import public keys:

curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EEA14886

4. Install GitLab

After adding sources and importing public keys, run the following commands to install GitLab:

sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce

5. Configuring GitLab

After GitLab is installed, some configuration is required to make it run properly. Edit the configuration file gitlab.rb:

sudo nano /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

Some of the parameters that need to be configured include external_url, smtp_xxx, etc. Among them, external_url is the GitLab access address, which can be set to http://your server IP or domain name/, smtp_xxx is the SMTP server used by GitLab when sending emails login information.

6. Start GitLab

After completing the configuration, use the following command to start GitLab:

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Through the above steps, you can successfully deploy GitLab on Alibaba Cloud . You can access http://your server IP or domain name/ in your browser, and enter the administrator account and password generated after initialization to log in to GitLab. On GitLab, you can create projects, manage code, perform team collaboration, continuous integration and other operations.

Summary

Alibaba Cloud is a platform that provides a variety of cloud computing services and has rich experience and leading technology in the field of cloud computing. Through the above steps, we can successfully deploy GitLab on Alibaba Cloud. Through GitLab, after team collaboration, the quality of the code can be improved, and the efficiency can also be greatly improved. Therefore, Alibaba Cloud GitLab deployment is very important for developers.

It should be noted that after GitLab deployment is completed, some security configurations need to be performed to protect the code security. In addition, when using GitLab, you need to pay attention to issues such as data backup and recovery, as well as upgrades and updates, to ensure that the team's development operations are not affected.
