Install gitlab7 on rhel6.4 with one click and set email sending

There is nothing in the world. Gitlab is a good thing, but the installation manual is really bad. Although gitlab 6.xwas installed step by step in comparison to the document, it was not necessary to spend time on this boring configuration during time-out migration. Google has become a treasure in the past, and has no powerful weapon to go over the wall, so it can only find the answer between Baidu and Bing.

Hard work. Finally, find the one-click installation package for this bitnami. Bitnami-gitlab-7.1.1-0-linux-x64-installer.run.

2. Change the configuration to send an email

Important! You cannot send emails. You need to change several configurations:

1)Config/environments/production. Rb

# vi /opt/gitlab-7.1.1-0/apps/gitlab/htdocs/config/environments/production.rb  ........  # config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail  # Defaults to:  # # config.action_mailer.sendmail_settings = {  # #   location: ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail‘,  # #   arguments: ‘-i -t‘  # # }  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {    :address => "smtp.qq.com",    :port => "25",    :domain => "smtp.qq.com",    :authentication => :plain,    :user_name => "[email protected]",    :password => "********",    :enable_starttls_auto => true  }  ........

2)Config/environments/production. Rb

  # cd /opt/gitlab-7.1.1-0/apps/gitlab/htdocs/config/initializers/  # cp smtp_settings.rb.sample smtp_settings.rb  # vi smtp_settings.rb

The content is as follows:

# To enable smtp email delivery for your GitLab instance do next:# 1. Rename this file to smtp_settings.rb# 2. Edit settings inside this file# 3. Restart GitLab instance#if Rails.env.production?  Gitlab::Application.config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {    address: "smtp.qq.com",    port: 25,    user_name: "[email protected]",    password: "********",    domain: "qq.com",    authentication: :login,    enable_starttls_auto: true  }end

3)Config/gitlab. yml

Find the following content and change it to your email address:

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## GitLab application config file  ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ### How to use:# 1. copy file as gitlab.yml# 2. Replace gitlab -> host with your domain# 3.
