Hi,
has anyone tried Gitlab on Rockylinux 8.4 yet?
I’m running gitlab on CentOS as rpm based installation and have to migrate due to CentOS 8 EOL.
Thanks,
Frank
Hi,
A clean install works for me, but providing you install the same version on rocky, and then restore from the same version of gitlab on your CentOS install, in theory it should be fine. This is how I set mine up:
Download the script to set up the repos:
[root@rocky ~]# wget https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.rpm.sh
Make the script executable:
[root@rocky ~]# chmod +x script.rpm.sh
Run the script passing the appropriate parameters to override:
[root@rocky ~]# os=el dist=8 ./script.rpm.sh
Detected operating system as el/8.
Checking for curl...

Downloading repository file: https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/config_file.repo?os=el&dist=8&source=script
done.

It looks like GitLab has not been configured yet; skipping the upgrade script.

Thank you for installing GitLab!
GitLab was unable to detect a valid hostname for your instance.
Please configure a URL for your GitLab instance by setting `external_url`
configuration in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file.
Then, you can start your GitLab instance by running the following command:
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
For a comprehensive list of configuration options please see the Omnibus GitLab readme
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md

Configure gitlab however you want as usual with editing /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and setting the external_url and running gitlab-ctl reconfigure
Screenshot of mine after install, obviously this doesn’t have an FQDN since I am only testing, but you would normally configure that properly in the external_url.
once you have done the initial configure, you can then look at the Gitlab backup/restore docs for moving from your old install. Have fun!
