Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Gitlab Cookbook

Build Status

This cookbook will deploy gitlab; a free project and repository management
application.

Gitlab code hosted on github here.

Important changes

Going forward, the cookbook major version (i.e. 6.1.x) will target the
matching stable branch (i.e. 6-1-stable) of the Gitlab application.
The 6.1.x release is not backwards compatible with previous versions targeting
Gitlab master.

For the initial 6.1.x release of the cookbook, the default Ruby will
be 1.9.3 compiled with ruby_build.
Using a compiled 1.9.3 Ruby follows the Gitlab installation guidelines upstream.
If you have a better approach which reduced complexity or reduces converge time,
please open a pull request on Github.

The application home has moved from /var/gitlab/gitlab to /srv/git/gitlab
in accordance with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) version 2.3.

Requirements

============

  • Hard disk space

    • About 600 Mb, plus enough space for repositories in application home
  • You need to add mysql::server or postgresql::server to your run_list
    if you intend to run the whole application stack on a single instance.
    The gitlab::mysql and gitlab::postgresql recipes set up the RDBMS
    connection only, to allow for multi-instance architecture. See
    Database Attributes documentation below for RDBMS connection
    parameters.

Cookbook dependencies

Usage

Optionally override application paths using gitlab['git_home'] and gitlab['home'].

Add recipe gitlab::default to run_list. Go grab a lunch, or two, if Ruby has to build.

The default admin credentials for the gitlab application are as follows:

User: admin@local.host
Password: 5iveL!fe

Of course you should change these first thing, once deployed.

Role example for Gitlab with https, and MySQL
