yum -y install letsencryptĪfter the installation is complete, generate new SSL certificate letsencrypt with the command below. Install Letsencrypt tool on CentOS 7 with yum command below. To generate the Letsencrypt certificate, we need to install the letsencrypt command line tool, which is available in the repository. We will use free SSL certificate from Letsencrypt and generate DHPARAM certificate to add an extra security layer. Step 4 – Generate SSL Let’s encrypt and DHPARAM certificateįor the basic layer of security, we will be using the SSL for our GitLab site. cd /etc/gitlab/vim gitlab.rbĬhange the external_url line with the domain name ‘ ‘. Go to the GitLab configuration directory ‘/etc/gitlab’ and then edit the configuration file ‘gitlab.rb’ with vim editor.

Specifically, we will use the domain name ‘.’ Step 3 – Configure GitLab URLįor this tutorial, we will use a domain name for GitLab. With this, GitLab CE is now installed on the CentOS 7 server. When the installation complete, you will get the result as shown below. Now install GitLab with the following yum command. GitLab CE repository has been added to the system. Download the installer with curl and run the script (as shown below) to add new GitLab CE repository. GitLab provides an installer for adding the GitLab CE repository. systemctl enable sshdsystemctl enable postfixĪll packages required for the GitLab installation are now installed on the server. Now enable them to run automatically at the boot time. systemctl start sshdsystemctl start postfix yum -y install curl policycoreutils openssh-server openssh-clients postfixĪfter that, start the ssh and postfix services. Install all of those packages with the following yum command. We will be using curl to download the repository installer, policycoreutils for SELinux manager, OpenSSH, and postfix as local SMTP server. In this step, we will download/install some packages needed for the GitLab installation.
