OpenVZ Gitlab template

readme

This is a short readme on how to use the template. I'll create a detailed readme later, but for the moment I guess this should be fine.

Information
###########

Based on Debian 6.0.5 minimal AMD64
Gitlab 2.8 Stable

Additional packages: bash-completion, nano, fail2ban (preconfigured to block SSH hack attemps)

Installation
############

After creating a new container with the template, please follow these steps.

1. It's smart to copy your public key to the container, so you can login without a password. e.g. ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub root@yourcontainer
2. Login to the container. If it worked without a password, run: passwd -l root to disable the root's password (secure)
3. replace /etc/ssh/sshd_config with /etc/ssh/sshd_config.secure and restart ssh (/etc/init.d/ssh restart)
-> You should now have a more or less secure system!

4. dpkg-reconfigure locales
5. dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
-> optional but recommended

6. edit /etc/mailname to fit your hostname
7. edit /etc/hostname to fit your hostname
8. edit /etc/postfix/main.cf -> mydestination to fit your hostname
-> within all files, you just have to replace "gitlab.rackster-server.ch"

9. change server_name in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
-> replace "gitlab.rackster-server.ch"

10. change web and email configs in /home/gitlab/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
-> internal settings for Gitlab

11. restart nginx (/etc/init.d/nginx restart)
12. restart gitlab (/etc/init.d/gitlab restart)
13. restart postfix (/etc/init.d/postfix restart)
-> everything should now be running fine!

Credentials
###########

Default credentials used within the template. You should change at least the SSH passwords, or disable passwords with passwd -l (root/gitlab_installer). MySQL is more or less safe, as it only listens on localhost.
