Update installation instructions to use EXTERNAL_URL variable for simpler installation process
Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/2619 .
Currently, users need to edit gitlab.rb
file after installation to set a URL for their GitLab instance and then run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
to apply it. With https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/1839 , we added an option to pass EXTERNAL_URL
with the installation command so that users no longer need to do that. That means, installation is now as simple as
- Run the script to setup repository
EXTERNAL_URL="http://GitLabIsSoAwesome.com" apt-get install gitlab-ce
- Enjoy
We need to update the installation instructions to reflect this change.
