Preparation

• Install centos on vmware. Note here that gitlab takes up more memory, so you need to allocate at least 4G of memory.
• It is recommended to use centos7 for centos, and errors may be reported for other versions. download link
• download this
  
• After centos is installed, the default network is not enabled, perform the following steps to enable the network
  • cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
  • vi ifcfg-ens33
  • Modify the value corresponding to ONBOOT in the file to yes, save and exit
  • service network restart
• install ssh service
  • yum install openssh-server

Install

• install dependencies
  • sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server perl
  • sudo systemctl enable sshd
  • sudo systemctl start sshd

• Install
  • sudo EXTERNAL_URL=“http://192.168.206.134” yum install -y gitlab-jh
  • The ip address here is the ip address of your centos virtual machine, don't make a mistake. Note here that the double quotation marks must be in English. It is best to type this command by yourself, and the quotation marks will become Chinese when I copy it. If the installation fails, execute rpm -e gitlab-jh to uninstall and reinstall.
