I was trying to install GitLab 7.8 using this installation method: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md

However, upon running sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:install[v2.4.3] REDIS_URL=unix:/var/run/redis/redis.sock RAILS_ENV=production all I get is this error stack:

rake aborted!

I made a SWAP file with 512 MB but it doesn't work with or without it. I have the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.

What can I do to install GitLab 7?

I'm having the same issue upgrading from 7.7 to 7.8. If you install 7.7 you won't find this issue. However, if you're planning on using the CI server with a team of developers you should know that there is a bug where non-admin users can't view their builds. This appears to have only been fixed as of 7.8.

Just use the official Omnibus image for Raspberry Pi.

  1. Install dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install openssh-server
    sudo apt-get install postfix
    
  2. Download the Omnibus package and install everything:

    wget https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/downloads-packages/raspberry-pi/gitlab_7.9.0-omnibus.pi-1_armhf.deb
    sudo dpkg -i gitlab_7.9.0-omnibus.pi-1_armhf.deb
    
  3. Configure and start GitLab:

    sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

  • Yeah, that wasn't available at the time.
