Installing GitLab on Raspian Stretch

Question

I am trying to install GitLab on my Pi according to the official instructions.

Until this step everything seems to be working fine:

seb@raspi:~ $  sudo curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/raspberry-pi2/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
Detected operating system as raspbian/stretch.
Checking for curl...
Detected curl...
Checking for gpg...
Detected gpg...
Running apt-get update... done.
Installing apt-transport-https... done.
Installing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab_raspberry-pi2.list...done.
Importing packagecloud gpg key... done.
Running apt-get update... done.

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

But then the when I try to install it, the package cannot be found.

seb@raspi:~ $ sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.       
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
E: Paket gitlab-ce kann nicht gefunden werden.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong here? Any idea why this is not working?

I'm running the latest Raspian (Stretch) on a 3B+.

Answer 1

It appears that GitLab only build packages for Raspbian Jessie, not Stretch. You can see in the repo link from the sources file that all the recent releases are tagged "raspbian/jessie", which is bad sign. I did a bit more searching and this issue confirms that's the case; builds are only available for Jessie at the moment. Your options:

1. Downgrade to Raspbian Jessie.
2. Build GitLab from source using their provided instructions.
3. Try this hack which suggests running sudo curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/raspberry-pi2/script.deb.sh | sudo os=raspbian dist=jessie bash to trick the script into thinking you have Jessie. Note that this might be a poor idea in case you mix Stretch packages with Jessie ones, but this option is provided nevertheless if you want a quick fix to try.
