Deploy GitLab and certs with 1 command

Note : Public port 80 must be accessible for this to work because GitLab’s built-in letsencrypt option uses the web server verification only, and DNS is not yet supported.


  1. Deploy Ubuntu VM with public IP (and port 80 accessible)
  2. Create public DNS record for the VM
  3. SSH into the VM
  4. Add pre-requisites
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates tzdata perl
  1. Add gitlab package repo
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
  1. List GitLab versions and pick one
    apt-cache madison gitlab-ee 
  2. Install GitLab with certs
 sudo EXTERNAL_URL="https://gitlab5.example.internal" apt-get install gitlab-ee=17.11.1-ee.0

Additonal Options

  • Specify version:sudo EXTERNAL_URL="https://gitlab.example.com" apt-get install gitlab-ee=17.11.1-ee.0
  • Pin the version to limit auto-updates:sudo apt-mark hold gitlab-ee
  • Show what packages are held back:sudo apt-mark showhold
