Choose from the official ubuntu website.
Here : 16.04.1 Long Term Support (LTS)
Follow the guidelines from the official website
Use the pull command as described on the docker website
Remark : sudo should be used here as sudo https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce/
Then, run gitlab from docker :
(use -i to display startup logs or –detach for a silent startup)
sudo docker run -i \
--hostname local.ngen.gitlab.be \
--env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG="external_url 'http://local.ngen.gitlab.be'; gitlab_rails['lfs_enabled'] = true;" \
--publish 10443:443 --publish 10080:80 --publish 10022:22 \
--name gitlab \
--restart always \
--volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
Personal experience :
When starting up using -i, I noticed this output :
seb@ubuntu:~$ sudo docker run -i \ ... If this container fails to start due to permission problems try to fix it by executing: docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions docker restart gitlab Preparing services... Starting services... Configuring GitLab package... /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start: line 24: ulimit: pending signals: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start: line 37: /proc/sys/fs/file-max: Read-only file system Configuring GitLab... gitlab Reconfigured!
Therefore I ran those commands :
docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions docker restart gitlab
How to inspect which container is running ?
sudo docker ps

How to inspect existing containers :
docker ps -a

If you need to remove a container
docker rm drunk_fermi
or forcefully using,
docker rm -f drunk_fermi
Access the GitLab shell
sudo docker exec -it gitlab /bin/bash
Access directly the main config file
sudo docker exec -it gitlab /bin/bash
