 This is a guide on installing GitLab 8 with continuous integration on FreeBSD 10. 

 h2. Prepare the Environment 

 * Make sure the system is up to date: 
 <pre> 
 pkg update && pkg upgrade 
 </pre> 

 * Install a few dependencies: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install sudo bash icu cmake pkgconf git node ruby ruby21-gems logrotate postfix krb5 go wget rubygem-bundler portmaster postgresql94-server redis gmake mercurial 
 </pre> 

 * Add the GitLab user 
 <pre> 
 pw add user -n git -m -s /usr/local/bin/bash -c "GitLab" 
 </pre>  

 * Add git to the redis group: 
 <pre> 
 pw usermod git -G redis 
 </pre> 

 * Install a couple gems: 
 <pre> 
 gem install whenever rubocop 
 </pre> 

 h3. Configure Postfix 

 * Enable postfix as the mail delivery agent, and disable sendmail: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'postfix_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'sendmail_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'sendmail_submit_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 echo 'sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 </pre> 

 h3. Configure PostgreSQL 

 * Start and enable postgresql at boot: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service postgresql start 
 </pre> 

 * Log in to postgresql user account 
 <pre> 
 su - pgsql 
 </pre> 

 * Initialise postgresql database 
 <pre> 
 initdb /usr/local/pgsql/data 
 </pre> 

 * Connect to postgresql database 
 <pre> 
 psql -d template1 
 </pre> 
 #* Create a user for GitLab: 
 <pre> 
 CREATE USER git CREATEDB; 
 </pre> 
 #* Create the GitLab production database & grant all privileges on database 
 <pre> 
 CREATE DATABASE gitlabhq_production OWNER git encoding='UTF8'; 
 </pre> 
 #* Quit the database session 
 <pre> 
 \q 
 </pre> 

 h3. Configure Redis 

 * Back up the original Redis config file: 
 <pre> 
 cp /usr/local/etc/redis.conf /usr/local/etc/redis.conf.orig 
 </pre> 

 * Disable Redis listening on TCP by setting 'port' to 0 
 <pre> 
 sed -i '' -e 's/^port .*/port 0/' /usr/local/etc/redis.conf 
 </pre> 

 * Enable Redis socket 
 <pre> 
 echo 'unixsocket /usr/local/var/run/redis/redis.sock' >> /usr/local/etc/redis.conf 
 </pre> 

 * Grant permission to the socket to all members of the redis group 
 <pre> 
 echo 'unixsocketperm 770' >> /usr/local/etc/redis.conf 
 </pre> 

 * Create the directory which contains the socket 
 <pre> 
 mkdir -p /usr/local/var/run/redis 
 chown redis:redis /usr/local/var/run/redis 
 chmod 755 /usr/local/var/run/redis 
 </pre>

 <pre> 
 bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:install[v2.6.5] REDIS_URL=unix:/var/run/redis/redis.sock RAILS_ENV=production 
 </pre> 

 # By default, the gitlab-shell config is generated from your main GitLab config, double check the settings are correct:

 mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d 
 </pre> 

 * Edit the main nginx config file: 
 <pre> 
 vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* And strip down the config file and add the include statement at the end to make it easier to handle various server blocks: 
 <pre> 
 #user    nobody; 
 worker_processes    1; 
 error_log    /var/log/nginx-error.log; 

 events { 
   worker_connections    1024; 
 } 

 http { 
   include         mime.types; 
   default_type    application/octet-stream; 

   sendfile          on;
