GitLab requires a couple of services:
- Web server (apache, nginx, etc.)
- Redis server
- Mail server (postfix or other)
- GitLab Sidekiq service (
gitlab-sidekiq.service
) - Unicorn (
gitlab-unicorn.service
)
Copy files to /etc/systemd/system/
:
su -
cd /etc/systemd/system/
wget -O gitlab-sidekiq.service https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init/systemd/gitlab-sidekiq.service
wget -O gitlab-unicorn.service https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init/systemd/gitlab-unicorn.service
wget -O gitlab.target https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init/systemd/gitlab.target
Reload systemd:
sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
Start the services:
sudo systemctl start gitlab-sidekiq gitlab-unicorn
Enable them to start at boot:
sudo systemctl enable gitlab-sidekiq gitlab-unicorn
If you installed GitLab in other path than /home/git/gitlab
change the service files accordingly.
/etc/systemd/system/
have a higher precedence over /lib/systemd/system
.
For older systemd versions you need to append service
after the service name. For example:
sudo systemctl start gitlab-sidekiq.service
