GitLab: misc

Export existing repositories to gitlab

GitLab can create projects for you bare repos

• Copy bare repositories to /home/git/repositories
• Run bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production

Rebuild keys in gitolite (GitLab 4.2)

Run, as the gitlab user, from /home/gitlab/gitlab:

bundle exec rake gitlab:gitolite:update_keys RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake gitlab:gitolite:update_repos RAILS_ENV=production

Run checks

Run, as the gitlab user, from /home/gitlab/gitlab:

bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

Fix: rake (gitlab 3.something)

File lib/tasks/resque.rake:

require 'resque/tasks'

# Fix Exception
# ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
# Error
# PGError: ERROR: prepared statement "a3" already exists
task "resque:setup" => :environment do
  Resque.after_fork do |job|
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
  end
end

desc "Alias for resque:work (To run workers on Heroku)"
task "jobs:work" => "resque:work"

Fix: postgres error on issues (gitlab 3.something)

See https://gist.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/1962

Note: I ended up giving up using PostgreSQL with GitLab, and installed MySQL, as it seems the first one is not-so-well supported..

sudo -u postgres psql -d gitlabhq_production
