Gitlab - Installation

How I was able to install Gitlab in 7 minutes!

gitlab.clab.yml §

name: gitlab_topo
 
topology:
  nodes:
    gitlab:
      kind: linux
      image: gitlab/gitlab-ce
      ports:
        - 8081:80
      binds:
        - /home/kali/data/gitlab_data:/var/opt/gitlab    

Start lab §

sudo containerlab deploy --topo gitlab.clab.yml

Go to http://127.0.0.1:8081 §

Note: it may take Gitlab a few minutes to start up :)

Shell into gitlab docker image §

sudo docker exec -it clab-gitlab_topo-gitlab sh

Get default admin password §

cat /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password

Warning: after the initial login, the initial_root_password file will be deleted!

To reset your password §

gitlab-rake "gitlab:password:reset[root]" force=true
