GitLab is a Git\nrepository management server that can be used to host repositories and set up\ncontrol structures for git within a clean web interface. It is built on Ruby on\nRails.\n\n[DigitalOcean] has created a GitLab application image that can be used to\ninstantly deploy GitLab Community Edition on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64\ndroplet using the [Omnibus installer]. You can have your own repository system\nup and running in minutes.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\n## Requirements\n\nThe [GitLab documentation recommends a minimum of 2GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores][req]\nfor optimum performance. If your projects are small (fewer than 100 users total),\n1GB of RAM and 1 CPU core may be sufficient, but make sure you have at least 1GB\nswap. You can follow the [How To Add Swap on Ubuntu 14.04][swap] tutorial.\n\nLow memory may result in `500` server errors (\"cannot allocate memory\"), so make\nsure you add enough RAM according to your needs.\n\n## Step One – Create a GitLab Droplet\n\nBefore you begin using GitLab, you need to spin up a DigitalOcean droplet using\nthe provided image.\n\nFrom the Control Panel, click on the \"Create Droplet\" button that is visible\nfrom any page:\n\n![Create Droplet](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/create-droplet-shadow.png)\n\nUnder the \"Choose an image\" section, select the \"One-click Apps\" tab and click\nthe \"GitLab\" image (the version might differ).\n\n![Droplet app](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/select_gitlab_app-shadow.png)\n\nThe next step is to choose the droplet size and the region you would like to use.\n\n![Hardware](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/hardware-shadow.png)\n\nAdd any SSH Keys, select any settings you'd like to use, and click \"Create\" at\nthe bottom.\n\n![Finalize creation](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/finalize-shadow.png)\n\nYour GitLab droplet will be created and available in a few minutes!\n\n## Step Two – Configure Domain Names and Emails\n\nWe still need to configure just a few things first to utilize our environment.\n\nBegin by setting up the domain name you would like to use for your GitLab\ninstance. Learn [how to set up domain names on DigitalOcean][do-domain] if you\nwant to use DigitalOcean's nameservers.\n\n>**Note:**\nIf you don't have a domain name at your disposal, you can just use your\ndroplet's IP address, but GitLab will _not_ be able to send emails without\nusing an SMTP server.\n\nOnce your domain name is configured correctly, you need to adjust some values\non the actual VPS instance. Log into your droplet as root through SSH, and open\nthe GitLab configuration file with your text editor:\n\n```\nvim /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb\n```\n\nUncomment and adjust the `external_url` parameter to match your domain name:\n\n```\nexternal_url \"http://your_domain.com/\"\n```\n\nIf you have [generated an SSL certificate][ssl] for your domain, you can\nconfigure GitLab to use it in this file as well. The following settings set the\nlocations of the SSL certificates and instruct the NGINX web server to redirect\nthe HTTP traffic to HTTPS. Note that for HTTPS to work, you **must** set the URL\nscheme in `external_url` as `https`:\n\n```\nexternal_url \"https://your_domain.com/\"\n\nnginx['ssl_certificate'] = \"/etc/gitlab/ssl/your_domain.com.crt\"\nnginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = \"/etc/gitlab/ssl/your_domain.com.key\"\nnginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true\n```\n\nGitLab uses its own bundled NGINX web server. You can find more information like\nusing your own external web server, changing the ports NGINX listens to, etc.,\nin the [official documentation][nginx-docs].\n\nWhile we're in this file, we can adjust the email settings that GitLab will use\nin the \"From:\" field in automated emails, and the email display name, respectively:\n\n```\ngitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = \"gitlab@your_domain.com\"\ngitlab_rails['gitlab_email_display_name'] = 'Example'\n```\n\nThe GitLab One-Click application is configured to use a local postfix server\nfor sending emails. If you wish to use it with GitLab you might want to set it\nup correctly. Follow the \"[How To Install and Configure Postfix as a Send-Only\nSMTP Server on Ubuntu 14.04][do-postfix]\" tutorial for more information. For a\nproduction site, you will likely want to use an external service such as\nMandrill or SendGrid. If so, you can [configure the SMTP settings][gl-smtp] here\nas well.\n\nAfter saving and closing the file, we just need to reconfigure the service:\n\n```\ngitlab-ctl reconfigure\n```\n\nThis should be done whenever you make configuration changes in order for them to\ntake effect.\n\n## Step Three – Log into GitLab\n\nWhen you connect to your GitLab instance via SSH or the DigitalOcean web console,\nyou will see the message of the day (MOTD) which contains your randomly generated\nGitLab password. It will look like this:\n\n```\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nThank you for using DigitalOcean's GitLab Application.\nYour GitLab instance can be accessed at http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/\nThe default credentials for GitLab are:\nUsername: root\nPassword: e0wXRM4fLmb6\n\nYou can find more information on using this image at: http://do.co/gitlabapp\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n```\n\nNext, open a web browser and navigate to your domain name (or the IP address of\nyour Droplet if you did not set up a domain name). You will be able to log in\nusing the credentials you found above.\n\n![Login](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/login-shadow.png)\n\nYou now have a full GitLab server configured and at your disposal to manage your\nrepositories.\n\n![Landing](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/landing-shadow.png)\n\n## Step Four – Modify Account Information\n\nIt would probably be more helpful if the account you're using, more accurately\nreflected your information. This will allow you to receive email updates and\nwill display your information to other users. The root account is the first one\ncreated by default, and it contains some predefined values for \"Name\", \"Username\"\nand \"Email\". You can change all that from the \"Admin Area\".\n\nLet's navigate to the \"Admin Area\" by clicking the wrench icon in the top-right\ncorner.\n\n![Admin](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/admin_button-shadow.png)\n\nIn the left sidebar click **Users**. This should only contain one user, the\nAdministrator account you are logged into.\n\n![Users area](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/admin_users-shadow.png)\n\nClick on the \"Edit\" button and change the account information at the top.\n\nThe \"Name\" field will be your name as displayed to other users. The \"Username\"\ncan be used to log in and it defines the owner of your projects. The \"Email\"\nis where alerts will be sent.\n\nIt is important to at least change the email field.\n\n![Account edit](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-digitalocean/account-shadow.png)\n\nClick \"Save changes\" at the bottom for the changes to take effect.\n\n## Updating to Newer Releases\n\nThe GitLab One-Click application is configured to use the GitLab Apt repository.\n[Updating to the most recent version][update-doc] is as simple as running:\n\n```\nsudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get upgrade\n```\n\nBefore upgrading to a new release, GitLab automatically backups the database.\nIf you wish to make a full back up of your existing installation, run:\n\n```\nsudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create\n```\n\nThe resulting backup will be located in: `/var/opt/gitlab/backups`. You can read\nmore in the [Omnibus backup documentation][backup].\n\n## Conclusion\n\nYou should now have a server configured to handle your team's Git projects. You\ncan easily manage user access, configure both public and private repositories,\nand get an overview of your projects' issues and commits.\n\nGitLab has a great help system accessible from within the user interface\n(visit `https://your_domain.com/help`). In a future article, we will discuss\nhow to manage repositories and users and effectively take advantage of the\ninterface.\n\nFor further information on configuring your GitLab Omnibus installation, check\nout the [official documentation][omnidocs].\n\n---\n\nIf you already have GitLab installed and want to use the [integrated CI][glci]\nfor your projects, check our other tutorial on\n[setting up
