Gitlab CE: omnibus package with apache and mysql

Good evening everyone!

right now I heard about the possibility to install Gitlab using the built-in package manager (e.g. apt on Ubuntu).
Currently I’m using the Community-Edition built from Source Code and I want to switch to the automated version with the package manager.
Apart from Gitlab my server runs MySQL and Apache so I don’t want to install other services for the same thing.

Does anyone know a good solution to use the automated way (with package manager) in combination with MySQL and Apache on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Dominik

1. Currently GitLab CE only supports PostgreSQL. To use MySQL, please upgrade to GitLab EE. See our features page for a guide on the differences between EE and CE, https://about.gitlab.com/features/.

2. Regarding your objective to switch from a GitLab source installation to an OmniBus installation please take a look at our update documentation: http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html#upgrading-from-a-non-omnibus-installation-to-an-omnibus-installation

3. Now for the final step, to use Apache in the omnibus installation you now have:

• Disable the nginx bundled in the omnibus package, set the right GitLab WorkHorse settings for Apache and download the correct web server configs by following the steps outlined on the following documentation: http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#using-a-non-bundled-web-server
