Answer 1

GitLab CEO here. You can just install the Omnibus package in your virtual machine, this is 2 minutes of work, see https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/

If you want to have the Omnibus package install automatically there is a community Vagrant option listed on https://about.gitlab.com/installation/

The cookbooks or virtualbox images are no longer supported nor recommended.

Answer 2

You don't need to do this from scratch, just use the Gitlab Virtualbox image that is provided.

Reference https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/wiki/VirtualBox-Image.

Download the Virtualbox image which can be found at http://minus.com/m55CpmY6C/.

Access virtual machine with vagrant:

vagrant box add gitlab /path/to/the/GITLAB-UBUNTU-SERVER-10.04-I386.box
vagrant init gitlab
vagrant up

In the vagrant file:

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.box = "gitlab"
  config.vm.network :hostonly, "33.33.33.10"
end

To login to vagrant:

vagrant ssh

To restart and upgrade the Gitlab Web Server:

cp gitlabhq/config/gitlab.yml{.example,}
cp gitlabhq/config/database.yml{.example,}
./restart_and_upgarde_gitlabhq

That starts the Gitlab server, and you can login to the Gitlab website at http://33.33.33.10

A GitLab admin login is already set up with username "[email protected]", and password "5iveL!fe".
