Unable to install latest gitlab-ce on Fedora 23


To install Gitlab I am using the instructions in the following link,

https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/el/6/gitlab-ce-8.6.6-ce.0.el6.x86_64.rpm

Executing the following command

curl -s https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

results in following output.

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

Later executing the following command

[x@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install gitlab-ce-8.6.6-ce.0.el6.x86_64

results in the follwing output,

Last metadata expiration check: 0:59:58 ago on Mon Apr 18 23:11:56 2016.
No package gitlab-ce-8.6.6-ce.0.el6.x86_64 available.
Error: Unable to find a match.

Please provide a solutiion.


Solution

  • GitLab doesn't provide native installation packages for Fedora at this time, so you have to install from source.

    GitLab does provide a detailed guide on how to install from source, but it's for Ubuntu. You'll have to translate it into Fedora yourself.
