Using Docker toolbox to create a persistent Gitlab-CE install in Windows 10

GitLab-CE on Windows 10

$ docker create --name gitlab-data --volume /d/docker/gitlab:/etc/gitlab gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

# Make sure Bridging is set on the VM in VirtualBox

$ docker run --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --publish 4443:443 --name gitlab --restart always --volumes-from gitlab-data gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest



Using docker 1.13.1

/******************************************************************************************************************/
Configure GitLab for your system by editing /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file
And restart this container to reload settings.
To do it use docker exec:

  docker exec -it gitlab vim /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
  docker restart gitlab

For a comprehensive list of configuration options please see the Omnibus GitLab readme
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md

If this container fails to start due to permission problems try to fix it by executing:

  docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions
  docker restart gitlab

where i can find the linux image cause i need to move to another HDD the git data

@Dokman if one is using a data container for gitlab then one would first commit the gitlab-data container as an image then push that image to your registry (internal, private on the new machine, or cloud base). Then pull that image down from the registry when reprovisioning the new harddrive.

As an type, the windows version of docker is just a linux virtual machine image running in the background. Same for the mac version. Docker is built on linux tech for linux. Everything else just hides that away behind a hypervisor to make it look like its for x platform. Thus, the above gist by kingbin is cross platform.
