Not yet released!

This role installs Gitlab using the official Omnibus package.

Configuration

Please consult https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/ for installation requirements and other important configuration hints.

As Gitlab has a plethora of options, this role does not expose them as variables. Instead you need to provide a gitlab.rb.j2 yourself, typically in $PROJECT_ROOT/templates/$HOSTNAME/gitlab.rb.j2. You can use your own variables when you deem it useful.

You can find all possible options at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/files/gitlab-config-template/gitlab.rb.template
