Chef cookbook for Gitlab

[atomic-penguin]

Last week I released a Chef cookbook for Gitlab. One of the
cookbook's users suggested I ping the Gitlab project and let people
know about it on the mailing list. It has been tested on CentOS and
Ubuntu. If you run into any issues, please open an issue or ticket on
Github.

Hi Eric,

I am a newbie and was looking forward to install and use gitlab. Your tool looks nice, however, I don't see any installation method for this tool.

If I understand it correctly it will ease the installation of gitlab.

Thanks,

Chandan

Hi Chandan,

Using the Chef cookbook for Gitlab would require the use of chef-client, or at least chef-solo.  Opscode Chef is a configuration management tool with a Ruby-like syntax.  Maybe configuration management is already on your radar, and perhaps it is not.  I hadn't considered non-Chef users using this code as an easier way to deploy Gitlab.  Perhaps I could re-visit this next week, and create a one-click installer with Makeself to deploy gitlab with chef-solo.  That way it would minimize the number of moving parts one may have to familiarize themselves with to get this up and running.

There is a Fast Start Guide for Chef on the Opscode wiki, if configuration management with Chef is something you'd like to familiarize yourself with.

Hi, just wanted to tell you that I updated your cookbook for a fresh Gitlab 5 + gitlab-shell install. Unfortunately it does not manage upgrading from 4 at the moment.
