Software

It’s recommended to have at least 8GB of RAM for GitLab to run smoothly, so we will adjust available configurations.

You can install the GitLab image on Ubuntu 18.04 or 22.04. 

Choosing the GitLab image will install on your machine:

  • GitLab CE (the latest version)
  • Postfix (the latest version available in the repositories)

Getting Started
Copy link

To deploy GitLab (CE) on your server:

  1. When creating a new Hostman server or reinstalling an existing one, select Marketplace → GitLab. 
  2. Select a preferred Ubuntu version: 18.04 or 22.04.
  3. Finish creating your server.

It may take up to 10 minutes to deploy a server with GitLab CE running.

When your server is online, you can access your GitLab instance. Go to http://your_server_ip and login using the server credentials:

  • Login: root
  • Password: your server root password

Once you’re logged in, you will be prompted to deactivate new sign ups. You can do it directly in the GitLab interface.

Next, you might want to configure SMTP for email notifications, create your first project, set up runners, or start working with Container Registry. See the GitLab documentation for more information on your next steps.
