How to Use GitLab Self-managed

I followed this doc for installation. On the step 2 the setup failed with this stack:

What repositories are enabled in Oracle Linux? Normally yum-utils is in baseos repository. If you don’t have any repositories configured, no dependencies for Gitlab can be installed and it will fail.

Normally for EL distros, there should be at least BASEOS and APPSTREAM enabled. If you don’t have these, then make sure that you do.

Ok I’ll check this. But the error seems to be about SSL certificates or keys in cloudfront.
