Please read everything before starting!
- Download OpenSUSE 12.3 32bit, Network edition http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/iso/openSUSE-12.3-NET-i586.iso
- I chose 32bit, because Ruby Binary Extensions might have problems with lib64 path structure. We workaround this bug.
- I chose networkinstall, because we need only very few packages and don't need to download everything. only 200MB are downloaded during install
- the image can easily copied to a usb pen drive using the gui tool "imagewriter" (executed as root)
- Partition: There are 2 big hard drives. I created on both of them first a primary pratition of 1GB of type LINUX-RAID
- I use the yast software raid setup during the install to connect both partitions to a software raid-1 partititon of ext4 to mount in /boot
- I created on both hard drives a btrfs partition (50GB), but only mount the one on /dev/sda to /
- I created on both hard drives a swap space of 2 GB and mount both to swap
- I use the minimal server installation mode without gnome or KDE
The system gets installed and the configuration follows.
- I open ssh. I disable ipv6.
- I disable dhcp and configure the hostname to "leise" and the site to our internet domain, the nameserver and the gateway is set to be the mail server.
- The server gets the fixed ip: 192.xxx.xxx.184
- The network check passes successfully and I apply immedately online updates.
- I leave the user input dialog blank and only set a root password
The installation is done. I test everything with a restart using reboot.
Now the root filesystem has to be turned to a btrfs raid system.
- I add a second device to the root file system:
btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 / - I convert the striped btrfs mode to the raid1 mode for filesystem data and metadata:
btrfs filesystem balance start -dconvert=raid1 -mconvert=raid1 /

- create a user git:
useradd -ms /bin/bash git
su git # (change to the account of git)
cd # (change to the home directory /home/git)
git clone https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell.git
cd gitlab-shell
cp config.yml.example config.yml
vim config.yml # change domain to the domain of this computer
cd
ssh-keygen # to be sure, create ssh key (not mentioned in official docu) with empty passphrase
Follow the setup of the mysql data base: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/databases.md#mysql
mysql -u root- follow the guide for mysql commands
We continue with the setup of the GitLab Rails application:
gem1.9 install charlock_holmes --version '0.6.9' # execute as root
su git
cd
git clone https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git gitlab
cd gitlab
git checkout 5-0-stable # not possible yet, I use master instead
vim config/gitlab.yml
# ^- email_from: [email protected], support_email: [email protected], default_projects_limit: 100
# disable username_changing_enabled
chown -R git log/ tmp/
chmod -R u+rwX log/ tmp/
mkdir /home/git/gitlab-satellites
mkdir tmp/pids/
chmod -R u+rwX tmp/pids/
cp config/unicorn.rb.example config/unicorn.rb
cp config/database.yml.mysql config/database.yml
vim config/database.yml # edit password and username

Install Check:
su git
cd /home/git/gitlab
bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
