Gitlab Server

Install GitLab

On the GitLab Server we have created, proceed to install the necessary dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates tzdata perl

Add the GitLab package repository and install the package.

curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

Here we are installing GitLab Self-hosted, which means setting up and running GitLab on your own server instead of using GitLab’s hosted service. This allows you full control over the GitLab environment, including where it’s hosted, how it’s configured, and who has access to it.

Next, install the GitLab package. Use the DNS you want to access the GitLab server.

sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.tranvix.vn" apt-get install gitlab-ee

alt text

GitLab has been successfully installed.

Configure GitLab

Add a host on Windows.

Open Notepad as an administrator.

Open the hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

At the end of the hosts file, add a new line in the following format:

<IP address>   <domain name>

We will add the IP address of the GitLab Server VM and the domain we are using to access GitLab.

192.168.181.101   gitlab.tranvix.vn

alt text

Now, access GitLab through the domain http://gitlab.tranvix.vn.

Retrieve the password by running the following command and log in with the Username root and the retrieved password:

cat /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password

Download the project from the links below and move it to the Server Development to push the code to GitLab.

In the folder where the project is stored on your Windows machine, right-click and open Terminal. Run the following command:

alt text

scp .\* tranvi0910@192.168.181.102:/home/tranvi0910

This command copies all files ./* and directories from the current folder on the local machine to the folder /home/tranvi0910 on the remote server at IP 192.168.181.102, using the tranvi0910 user account.

Check the files on the Server Development.

Create a new directory to clone the project, then extract the source code we transferred from Windows to the server, and push the code to GitLab.

mkdir -p /projects/wineapp && cd /projects/wineapp

Add a host on the Server Development to clone the project from GitLab.

vi /etc/hosts

alt text

Clone the project.

git clone http://gitlab.tranvix.vn/wineapp/wineapp-frontend.git

root@development-server:/projects/wineapp# git clone http://gitlab.tranvix.vn/wineapp/wineapp-frontend.git

warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

Install the Unzip package.

sudo apt install unzip

Unzip the source code for the frontend.

unzip wine-website-FE.zip
unzip wine-website-BE.zip

After unzipping, you will have two folders. alt text

Move the source code from the unzipped folder to the Frontend project we cloned earlier.

cp -rf wine-website-FE-main/* /projects/wineapp/wineapp-frontend/

alt text

Push the code.

git add .

git commit -m 'project(base): add base project'

git push

Check the project on GitLab. alt text

The project has been successfully pushed to GitLab. Follow similar steps for the Backend Project.
