Set up Gitlab Development Kit on Trisquel 8

README.md

Set up Gitlab Development Kit on Trisquel 8

• Login as non-root user.

• Install ruby with required version (2.4.4 at the time I wrote this), the gitlab site recommends using a ruby version manager (such as RVM, rbenv, chruby).

• Source the required script after installing ruby version manager. (In case of RVM, it may be ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm or /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh depending on how you install RVM.)

• Install bundler by gem install bundler (though I think this step is unnecessary since it will be installed automatically later).

• Install git version 2.18 or higher.

• Install an up-to-date node 8.x (LTS) and yarn 1.2 or newer. (Node 8.9 doesn't work since one of the dependencies requires 8.10 or higher)

• Install Go 1.9.6 or newer.

• Install Google Chrome 60 or newer with ChromeDriver version 2.33 or newer. Since Google Chrome is not free/libre, I suppose it can be supplanted by Chromium.

• Install PostgreSQL 9.x (10.x is not yet supported).

• Install GraphicsMagick.

• Increase the watch limit of inotify for webpack and karma to track file changes effectively. (I increased it from 8K to 512K.)

• Install libpq-dev, redis-server, libicu-dev, cmake, g++, libre2-dev, libkrb5-dev, ed, and pkg-config if not already installed.

• Install gitlab-development-kit by executing the following commands.

  gem install gitlab-development-kit
  gdk init [DIRECTORY]
  

  This will clone the GDK repository into ./gitlab-development-kit if the optional directory name is not given.

  You now have two choices: develop in either a fork or the main repo. I followed the fork approach.

  gdk install gitlab_repo=https://gitlab.com/YOUR-FORK/gitlab-ce.git
  support/set-gitlab-upstream
  

  Then start up the GDK as follows.

  gdk run
  

I created the script install.sh which contains I did manually setting up the GDK. I have not tested it but it should work.

install-gdk.sh

#!/bin/sh

gem install gitlab-development-kit
gdk init

cd gitlab-development-kit/

# fork approach
