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
* Initialize, start, Start and enable postgresql at boot:
<pre>
echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service postgresql initdb
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 WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPassword'; 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
exit
</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>
* Start and enable redis at boot:
<pre>
echo 'redis_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service redis start restart
</pre>
h2. Install GitLab 8
* Switch to the git user:
<pre>
su - git
</pre>
* Clone GitLab repository
<pre>
git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git -b 8-5-stable 8-1-stable gitlab

<pre>
chown -R git log/
chown -R git tmp/
chmod -R u+rwX,go-w log/
chmod -R u+rwX tmp/
</pre>
* Make sure GitLab can write to the @tmp/pids/@ and @tmp/sockets/@ directories

</pre>
* Copy the example Rack attack config
<pre>
cp config/initializers/rack_attack.rb.example config/initializers/rack_attack.rb
</pre>
* Configure Git global settings for git user, used when editing via web editor
<pre>
git config --global core.autocrlf input
</pre>
* Configure Redis connection settings
<pre>
cp config/resque.yml.example config/resque.yml
</pre>
* Change the Redis socket path if you are not using the default Debian / Ubuntu configuration
<pre>
vi config/resque.yml
</pre>
#* And modify the following parameter:
<pre>
production: unix:/usr/local/var/run/redis/redis.sock
</pre>
* Configure GitLab DB Settings:
<pre>
cp config/database.yml.postgresql config/database.yml
</pre>
* Change the database credentials
<pre>
vi config/database.yml
</pre>
* Make config/database.yml readable to git only
<pre>
chmod o-rwx config/database.yml
</pre>
* Install the gems for PostgreSQL:
<pre>
bundle install --deployment --without development test mysql aws kerberos
</pre>
h3. Install GitLab Shell
* Run the installation task for gitlab-shell:
<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:
<pre>
vi /home/git/gitlab-shell/config.yml
</pre>
h3. Install GitLab HTTP Server
* Install the gitlab http server:
<pre>
cd /home/git
git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-git-http-server.git
cd gitlab-git-http-server
git checkout 0.3.0
make

cd /home/git/gitlab
echo "gem 'whenever', '~> 0.9.3'" >> Gemfile
bundle install --no-deployment --path vendor/bundle
bundle install --deployment --without development test mysql aws kerberos
</pre>
* Setup schedules
<pre>
bundle exec whenever -w RAILS_ENV=production
</pre>
h3. Install Init Script
* Exit out of the git user, back into root:
<pre>
exit
</pre>
* Download the init script:
<pre>
wget -O /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gitlab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/raw/master/init/init/freebsd/gitlab-unicorn
</pre>
* Fix the shell environment for the init script:
<pre>
sed -i '' -e 's/\#\!\ \/bin\/sh/\#\!\ \/usr\/local\/bin\/bash' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gitlab
</pre>
* Make the init script executable:
<pre>
chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gitlab
</pre>
h3. Check Configuration and Compile Assets
* Check the configuration:
<pre>
cd /home/git/gitlab
bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
</pre>
* Compile all of the assets for GitLab:
<pre>
bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
</pre>
* Start and enable gitlab at boot:
<pre>
echo 'gitlab_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service gitlab start
</pre>
h2. Install Nginx
* Install nginx:
<pre>
portmaster www/nginx
</pre>
*NOTE*: Make sure to enable *[X]HTTP_GZIP_STATIC* during the nginx configuration
* Start and enable nginx at boot:
<pre>
echo 'nginx_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service nginx start
</pre>
* Create a configuration directory to make managing individual server blocks easier
<pre>
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;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#gzip on;
# Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
</pre>
* Create the gitlab nginx config:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/gitlab.conf
</pre>
#* And add the following:
<pre>
upstream gitlab {
server unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket fail_timeout=0;
}
upstream gitlab-git-http-server {
server unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/gitlab-git-http-server.socket fail_timeout=0;

<pre>
mkdir -p $GOPATH
</pre>
