Gitlab from source + viewing ipython notebooks

This is what I needed to complete Gitlab installation by using @martijnvermaat's fork. Some guidelines are provided here. This is supposed to allow you to use a local installation of gitlab capable of rendering Ipython Notebooks. This was based on GitLab's documentation.

Pre-installation

cd
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install -y pandoc build-essential zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev curl openssh-server checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev logrotate python-docutils pkg-config cmake nodejs libkrb5-dev git-core
sudo apt-get install pip
sudo pip install pip -U
sudo pip install ipython -U
sudo pip install nbconvert -U
sudo pip install jinja2 -U
sudo pip install pyzmq -U
sudo pip install tornado -U

sudo apt-get remove ruby1.8
mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.1.tar.gz
echo 'c39b4001f7acb4e334cb60a0f4df72d434bef711  ruby-2.3.1.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.1.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.3.1
./configure --disable-install-rdoc
make
sudo make install

sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc

curl --remote-name --progress https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo '43afe0c5017e502630b1aea4d44b8a7f059bf60d7f29dfd58db454d4e4e0ae53  go1.5.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -a256 -c - && \
  sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.5.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/
rm go1.5.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-client libpq-dev postgresql-contrib
sudo -u postgres psql -d template1 -c "CREATE USER git CREATEDB;"
sudo -u postgres psql -d template1 -c "CREATE DATABASE gitlabhq_production OWNER git;"
sudo -u postgres psql -d template1 -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;"

sudo apt-get install redis-server

sudo cp /etc/redis/redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf.orig
sudo sed 's/^port .*/port 0/' /etc/redis/redis.conf.orig | sudo tee /etc/redis/redis.conf
sudo echo 'unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock' | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf
sudo echo 'unixsocketperm 770' | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf
sudo mkdir /var/run/redis
sudo chown redis:redis /var/run/redis
sudo chmod 755 /var/run/redis
if [ -d /etc/tmpfiles.d ]; then
  sudo echo 'd  /var/run/redis  0755  redis  redis  10d  -' | sudo tee -a /etc/tmpfiles.d/redis.conf
fi

sudo service redis-server restart
sudo usermod -aG redis git

Cloning a version of gitlab WITH rendered to ipython notebook
