The power of Gitlab is superior to Github, at least in terms of service, if we use it as our server's own software, the power will depend on the hardware of our server. Gitlab, as with the Github service, offers interesting resources such as cloning repositories, developing static web pages with Jekyll software or a version control and code that will allow us to be informed if the software or the revision contains any errors or not. This software offers us the benefits of Gitlab Premium but without having to pay anything for it, since we install all the software on our server and not on another server. But Gitlab has a version more called Gitlab EC o Community Edition that allows us to install and have a Gitlab environment on our server or computer with Ubuntu, although the most practical is to use it on a server with Ubuntu. This means that all our data is hosted on servers external to us whose control we do not have, as with Github. Gitlab has a web service that offers two types of accounts to its clients: a free account with free and public repositories and another paid or premium account that allows us to create private and public repositories. Everything is licensed under the GPL license, but it is true that like other types of software such as WordPress or Github itself, anyone cannot use Gitlab. But unlike other services, it incorporates other functions besides Git such as the wikis service and a bug tracking system.
Gitlab is a software version control that uses Git technology. 2 What do we need to install GitLab on an Ubuntu server?īut first of all, let's see what it is exactly.There is the docker image, you could try that under Windows (not entirely sure if will work to be honest), but the hardware requirements would still need to be taken into account for allocating CPU/memory under Windows than compared to Linux. I don’t see any advantages for running it under Windows or even a reason for attempting it. For Windows you would need at least 4GB for Windows, and then add the memory requirements of Gitlab, so then you would be looking at an additional 4 - 8GB, thus requiring 8 - 12GB for Windows, whereas the same on Linux would be 4 - 8GB including the Linux OS. A Linux server with only gitlab installed will need far less CPU/ram requirements than Windows. Windows needs it’s own resources, as well as then having to cater for gitlab. Performance is also an advantage, it will run better under Linux than attempting it under Windows. Attempting to run it in some kind of Linux emulator under Windows for example would make it far harder for you to resolve issues since not many people are likely to run it this way. More people are likely to be able to help you if you are running it on Linux.
Therefore, you are far better to install it under Linux. Hi the official downloads, there isn’t a native Windows installation for Gitlab.
