== Editing the display == I have done some minor patching to the GitLab code to customise the login page. This was done in the GitLab rails application directory : `/home/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails`. This has been turned into a git repo to trace changes and upgrades. To apply changes to the page templates, stopping+starting the services should suffice. If any images or CSS are changed, then you need to regenerate the assets by running the following command from the rails app root. `RAILS_ENV=production PATH=/home/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/:$PATH ./bin/bundle exec rake assets:precompile` ''NOTE: This directory has been made into a git repository. When you've edited something, make sure to check it in.'' `git add <files>; git commit --author "Name <[email protected]>"` |
[TPG] has set up a "GitLab" instance on a VM, running at https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/
GitLab is a git repository manager, similar to GitHub, and looks to be a good replacement for gitosis+gitweb.
Setup
It's a VM on medico, with a small HDD; a separate partition is available for /var to avoid filling the disk with logs.
GitLab itself was installed from a .deb acquired from the GitLab website, which installs to /opt/gitlab.
It's now kept up to date using the GitLab package server.
GitLab has been configured (using the config file in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb) to store repositories in /services/gitlab. This is a mount of services:/services/gitlab (the VM is only allowed access to this subdir, safety first.)
Management
To start/restart/stop the GitLab service, use the gitlab-ctl tool. * gitlab-ctl start - Start the service * gitlab-ctl stop - Stop the service * gitlab-ctl reconfigure - Apply any configuration changes
