Setup Gitlab

Run the following command to install gitlab on your machine.

sudo docker run -d --hostname 10.211.55.5 \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 22:22 \
--restart always gitlab/gitlab-ce

Please follow official installation docs to install docker if it’s not been installed. Do NOT forget change 10.211.55.5 and /srv/gitlab/ to your own.(I have a virtual machine with that ip.) If your docker is behind a proxy, please see the search results from Google.

After several mins, access http://10.211.55.5 (the host you set above), you will the following picture.

Set your admin password, and login again.

Create new project hello-world as the following:

Once you create the project, follow the instruction to upload demo code to the repo. When you finish you will see a similar picture.

Click the Set up CI button, add the following code and commit.
