\"GitLab\"
\nI believe that most developers should have heard of\/used GitHub. One of the main issues with GitHub is the lack of private repository for free users(except for student account). In the event that one needs a private repository, some will use BitBucket instead of GitHub. Alternatively, one can host a git server on his\/her own machine. Here I am presenting another solution known as GitLab, which is pretty similar to GitHub except that it allows you to host the software on third-party server which is perfect for personal use. As GitLab does not have official support on Fedora. It will take a few more steps than usual to get it up and running on a Fedora server.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nInstalling Pre-requisties<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo dnf install sendmail sendmail-cf curl openssh-server\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nStarting and Enabling Services<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo systemctl start sshd\r\nsudo systemctl enable sshd\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nDownloading GitLab<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \r\ncurl https:\/\/packages.gitlab.com\/gitlab\/gitlab-ce\/packages\/el\/7\/gitlab-ce-8.1.2-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm\/download\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nGitLab Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \r\ndnf install gitlab-ce-8.1.2-ce.0.el7.x86_64.rpm\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \nConfiguring and Starting GitLab<\/strong>
    \nBefore running the gitlab, we will need to edit the configuration file.<\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo -e \/etc\/gitlab\/gitlab.rb\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Change the external url to your domain.<\/p>\n
    \r\n external_url 'http:\/\/mydomain.com'\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Run the following to have gitlab reconfigured and restarted.<\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \nConfigure Firewall Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http\r\nsudo firewall-cmd --reload\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \nConfigure Sendmail<\/strong>
    \nIn this example, gmail is used as the mailing agent.
    \nBefore you make changes, make sure a back up of sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf is created.<\/p>\n
    \r\ncd \/etc\/mail\r\nsudo cp sendmail.mc sendmail.mc.bak\r\nsudo cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.bak\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Add the following lines to the top of the first Mailer in \/etc\/mail\/sendmail.mc<\/p>\n
    \r\ndefine(`SMART_HOST',`[smtp.gmail.com]')dnl\r\ndefine(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')dnl\r\ndefine(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl\r\nTRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`authinfo',`hash -o \/etc\/mail\/authinfo\/gmail-auth.db')dnl\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Now we will need to create the gmail-auth.db so that sendmail can login to the gmail mailing server with the credentials<\/p>\n
    \r\nsudo mkdir -m 700 \/etc\/mail\/authinfo\/\r\nsudo cd \/etc\/mail\/authinfo\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Create the file gmail-auth and insert the following line.<\/p>\n
    \r\nAuthInfo: \"U:root\" \"I:EMAIL ADDRESS\" \"P:PASSWORD\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Next we will need to create the hash file. (you may wanna delete original gmail-auth for security reason)<\/p>\n
    \r\nmakemap hash gmail-auth < gmail-auth\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Next, we will need to have sendmail reconfigured and restarted.<\/p>\n
    \r\nm4 \/etc\/mail\/sendmail.mc > \/etc\/mail\/sendmail.cf\r\nsudo service sendmail restart\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  8. \nAccessing GitLab Web Interface<\/strong>
    \nNow that everything has been configured, you may try to access the web interface via the external URL that you have specified in the beginning.
    \nTry making an account and see if you actually receives a confirmation email. If everything works fine, you can start creating code repository on your very own git server.
    \nIn the event that sendmail fails to send the confirmation email. you may want to check the log in \/var\/log\/maillog for more information.\n<\/li\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
