Install Local GitLab Server with Docker

Confirm that an active installation of Docker is installed.

Install inside Docker

docker pull gitlab/gitlab-ce

Start Docker service

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

Add current user to docker user group so that he does not have to use sudo every now and then.

sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

The following command will start GitLab. Note that –restart always will restart the container at system startup.

sudo docker run --detach \                             
   --hostname gitlab.example.com \
   --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 \
   --name gitlab \
   --restart always \
   --volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
   --volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
   --volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
   gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

• Go to 0.0.0.0

In a future post, I’ll show how to connect it to the LDAP server.
