GitLab Community Edition preinstalled for AWS. Omnibus on Ubuntu 24.04 with nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis and Sidekiq, with a per instance root password generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## GitLab CE by cloudimg
GitLab Community Edition is a self hosted Git platform with integrated source control, code review, issue tracking, continuous integration and a container registry. This Amazon Machine Image delivers GitLab fully installed and configured, so a complete devops platform is running within minutes of launch.
## Application Stack
The image runs GitLab CE Omnibus from the official packages.gitlab.com repository, with nginx serving on port 80, embedded PostgreSQL, embedded Redis, Sidekiq background workers, the Puma application server, Gitaly and GitLab Workhorse. The container registry is included. Git over SSH is served on port 22.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service rotates the GitLab root administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root only file. The default Omnibus initial root password file is wiped at image build time, so no default credential ever ships in the image.
## Ready To Use
The GitLab application server, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, Gitaly and nginx are all configured and start automatically on boot. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the root user with the generated password, and start creating projects, pushing repositories and configuring CI runners.
