Playbook for installing GitLab 5.1 on Ubuntu (tested with quantal 12.10).

Let's be honest, setting up gitlab is in pain in the ass. This ansible playbook was made to help you deploy GitLab in about 15 minutes with a single command.

You need to have sudo installed on the server and Ansible on the client.

You will need to copy vars.yml.example to vars.yml which contains the domain you would like to use, as the database password.

The playbooks use the apt module, and for that reason they only work on Debian-based distributions. They are currently only tested on Debian unstable. Patches are welcome for extending support for other platforms. Also, please let me know if the playbooks should happen to work on other configurations, such as Debian testing or Ubuntu Server.

Run the following:

ansible-playbook -vvv gitlab.yml -u ubuntu

Now you should be able to log in with:
