I am new to GitLab. I installed dependencies, GitLab, and fixed firewall rules.
My gitlab.rb
http://gitlab.example.com
letsencrypt['enable'] = nil
letsencrypt['contact_emails'] = ['mymail@yahoo.co.uk']
But
How should external_url look like?
Hi,
what’s your FQDN / DNS entry for the GitLab server? That needs to be configured as
external_url 'http://gitlab.yourdomain.com'
With then restarting GitLab.
Cheers,
Michael
Hi,
hostname --fqdn
mm-HP-EliteBook-8560p
Should I change it to
‘http://gitlab.mm-HP-EliteBook-8560p.com’ ?
Hi,
oh, so you are using a local install on your notebook. If mm-HP-EliteBook-8560p resolves to an IP address, set external_url to http://mm-HP-EliteBook-8560p - just like you would access it in your browser.
$ dig mm-HP-EliteBook-8560p
Is GitLab running on port 80 on your host?
Cheers,
Michael
Michael,
I tried what you suggested. But nginx show bad gateway.

In terms of 5XX errors, always check the web server log for further insights. Bad gateway would likely mean that some vhost config is targeting the wrong listeners in the backend.
gitlab-ctl check-config should also provides hints whether the config is correct.
Also, please share your full config e.g. with
grep "^[^#;]" /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
On a related note - I’d suggest installing GitLab in a dedicated VM or Docker container, and not directly on localhost. There you can take snapshots of working versions and don’t pollute your desktop environment. Also, it allows to assign DNS/FQDN better.
Cheers,
Michael
Can you send me link on GitLab with Docker? Thanks.
There’s also an
