Description

Install and configure GitLab and GitLab CI using GitLab Omnibus packages. GitLab
Omnibus packages contain all dependencies needed to run GitLab including Ruby,
PostgreSQL database, etc.

This cookbook is in the early stages. Please try it out and provide
feedback in the issue tracker if you have trouble.

Getting Started

By default, this cookbook does not require any attributes to be set. Simply
include this recipe in a wrapper cookbook or on a node and GitLab will be
installed and configured with external_url set to https://#{node['fqdn']}.
Override node['gitlab_omnibus']['external_url'] if the default doesn't fit
your needs.

GitLab CI is not enabled/configured by default.

All other configuration values default to the values specified in the GitLab
Omnibus package. See
gitlab.rb.template
in the GitLab Omnibus repository for default values. For each configuration
key in the template file there is a configuration hash in this cookbook. For
example, to set gitlab_rails['gitlab_ssh_host'] use
node['gitlab_omnibus']['gitlab_rails']['gitlab_ssh_host'] = ''. Similarly,
to set unicorn['port'] use node['gitlab_omnibus']['unicorn']['port'] = 8181.

Enterprise GitLab

This cookbook supports installation of GitLab EE in addition to CE. Enterprise
users must set node['gitlab_omnibus']['package_url']. The package URL can
be obtained from the GitLab EE repository once you have subscription access.

Requirements

Platform:

• Centos (>= 6.5)
• Debian (>= 7.1)
• Ubuntu (>= 12.04)

Cookbooks:

No dependencies defined

Attributes

• node['gitlab_omnibus']['version'] - Specify GitLab version to install. This is ignored if package_url is specified. Defaults to "7.8.1".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['package_url'] - Determine package URL based on specified version and platform/platform version. Defaults to "".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['external_url'] - URL where GitLab will be accessible. Defaults to "https://\#{node['fqdn']}".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['gitlab_rails'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['user'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['unicorn'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['sidekiq'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['gitlab_shell'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['postgresql'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['redis'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".

• node['gitlab_omnibus']['logging'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['logrotate'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['omnibus_gitconfig'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['ci_external_url'] - URL where GitLab CI will be accessible. Setting this value enables/configures GitLab CI. Defaults to "nil".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['gitlab_ci'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['ci_unicorn'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['ci_sidekiq'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".
• node['gitlab_omnibus']['ci_redis'] - Defaults to "{ ... }".

Things this cookbook doesn't do:

• Manage a firewall
• Install SSH or Postfix
• Manage secrets (database passwords, SSL keys/certs, etc)

Why not?

This is a library/application cookbook. It's sole purpose is installation
and configuration of GitLab and/or GitLab CI. The goal is to avoid
assumptions about how users like to use Chef. Therefore, it does not
require any data bags, manage secrets, install SSL certificates, or anything
else of that nature. This leaves users free to wrap the cookbook and add those
bits that work for their environment.

Users of this cookbook
probably have their own cookbooks/configurations for these items already. If
not, they really should :)

Roadmap

1. Support GitLab CI Runners

Testing

Code Style

To run style tests (Rubocop and Foodcritic):
rake style

If you want to run either Rubocop or Foodcritic separately, specify the style
test type (Rubocop = ruby, Foodcritic = chef)
rake style:chef
or
rake style:ruby

RSpec tests

Run RSpec unit tests
rake spec

Test Kitchen

Run Test Kitchen tests (these tests take quite a bit of time)
rake integration:vagrant
