Gitlab External IP on a local network - gitlab

I have recently installed Gitlab on an internal server (192.168.0.XX). After installation I edit the Gitlab.rb file external_ip: 192.168.0.XX and I run the reconfigure file. However when I go to the address on the server I am not served with the Gitlab page. Am I doing something silly?

Don't be an idiot and have Apache running at the same time...

NodeJS cPanel Hosting

I set up a NodeJS API on cPanel using the NodeJS setup that is provided. the app starts but none of my endpoints are reachable with 404 pages being displayed.
In the cPanel > metrics > errors I can see the error: Path for NodeJS application is invalid: /home/username/repositories/repo
where username is the cpanel username and repo is the server.
I used the built in git support in cPanel to link to a remote repo via SSH. This part is most likely not the problem since I can see the actual server files referenced in the NodeJS server with the correct path (which is why this error message is so strange.)
The server works fine on localhost so this likely has something to do with cPanel.
I have never hosted a node app on cPanel and I know a VPS would be better but this is what I have to work with for now. There isn't a lot of discussions/forums/docs on this online so I am running out of options.
I would highly appreciate it if someone can tell me what is wrong or guide me in the right direction for where to start looking for the problem.
I solved the problem. When you don't use a git repo you can use a relative path from your home to the place the server is stored. i.e. don't include home/username/ in the path
for git repos you must use the absolute path meaning
home/username/repositories/yourserver
where "username" is your cPanel username and "yourserver" is the name of the folder where your server is located

Local install GitLab Pages - 404

I have a local installation of Gitlab-ce and I have enabled gitlab-pages using the simplest setup.
Added an A record to point to the server running Gitlab
edited /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb to contain pages_external_url 'http://gitlab.mydomain.com'
reconfigure
However, when I visit the link after deploying pages I get a 404 page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

How do I start using Gitlab-CI in Gitlab Omnibus edition?

I have installed Gitlab Omnibus gitlab-7.4.3_omnibus.5.1.0.ci-1.el6.x86_64.rpm on CentOS 6.6. I have a few projects created and working fine but I would like to try using the continuous integration features. I don't know where to start and documentation/tutorials are thin on the ground.
I have found the following files that do not appear in an older Gitlab omnibus install I have:
/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-rake
/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-rails
I presume I need to do something with these? But do I need a configuration file first?
In my projects (Settings > Services > Gitlab CI) I can see there are options for Active, Token and Project Url but I do not know what to put in these fields.
Any help to get me started on CI would be appreciated. Cheers,jonny
We recently installed the omnibus GitLab 7.6.2 release which has GitLab CI 5.3 built in. I had the same question. Here's how we got it working.
We're using a single secured server over https; single ip for both gitlab and gitalb-ci hosts.
We have dns entries for both host names to a single ip. (Done with an alias for the ci server I think). We have two ssl certificates one for each hostname.
We have the following lines at the top of the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb script (found by searching the gitlab site for rb file setup details):
external_url 'https://gitlab.example.edu'
nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
ci_external_url 'https://gitlab-ci.example.edu'
ci_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
For http, leave out the nginx statements.
If gitlab-ci url displays the gitlab site contents then the ci_nginx statement needs to be corrected.

NGINX not picking up changes in Vagrant Synced folder

I have an Ubuntu VirtualBox that's setup by Vagrant. Its running NGINX to serve some static files and a Django app.
I have the source folder synced via vagrant to the repo in my host (windows). I can make changes to a Javascript file in Windows and verify that the changes are made to my file in the VM by SSH'ing in and opening the file in nano.
However, when I make the changes remotely, NGINX seems to serve up the unchanged version with "illegal" characters added to the end (which really freaks out browsers). I get the same file when I CURL localhost while ssh'd into the vm. EDIT It actually does the same thing when I edit the file via SSH
I can reload the vm via vagrant (which re-syncs the folders) and it works fine until the next remote change.
Restarting nginx and gunicorn doesn't help.
Does vagrant lock the files so that nginx has to rely on a cache? What might be going on here?
Thanks!
Apparently my coworker has better Google-foo than I.
This is apparently a known issue with virtualbox and nginx that has to do with the nginx's sendfile. You can simply add "sendfile off;" in either your server or location blocks in the nginx config. Here's a blogpost about it: nginx virtualbox static files

Gitlab defaults to localhost

I've successfully installed Gitlab on a cloud server but every time I try to create a new project it defaults to localhost so if I try to push to it it attempts to push to the the local machine instead of the remote one.
Is there any way to set an IP address for the destination push?
Any help appreciated...
There's a part in your config/gitlab.yml that says something along the line of replace "localhost" with.... And the restart your app.
If that didn't help, post your config.
