GitLab is now in ports!

You can now install GitLab using pkg install gitlab.

A GitLab port for FreeBSD

Install using packages

# Download the package
pkg install ca_root_nss
fetch https://github.com/yonas/gitlab-freebsd-port/raw/master/gitlab-8.1.txz

# Install the package
pkg install krb5
pkg install gitlab-8.1.txz

# Enable accept filters for unicorn
echo 'accf_http_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf

# Reboot the server to enable accept filters
reboot

# Run the setup script
/usr/local/bin/gitlab-setup

# Go to http://<your server IP address>/ in your browser

Install using ports

# Download and install this port
git clone https://github.com/yonas/gitlab-freebsd-port
cd gitlab-freebsd-port
make install

# Enable accept filters for unicorn
echo 'accf_http_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf

# Reboot the server to enable accept filters
reboot

# Run the setup script
/usr/local/bin/gitlab-setup

# Go to http://<your server IP address>/ in your browser

Running in a jail

If you'd like to run GitLab in a jail, you'll need to enable sysvipc for Postgres. For example, if you're using io cage:

iocage stop gitlab
iocage set allow_sysvipc=1 gitlab
iocage start gitlab

You should also set the IP address and hostname:

iocage stop gitlab
iocage set ip4_addr="igb0|192.168.2.10/24" gitlab
iocage set hostname="gitlab.server" gitlab
iocage start gitlab

All these settings should be configured before running the gitlab-setup script.

Credits

The original setup script was obtained from a gitlab recipe and the very well written installation instructions.
