Can't install GitLab

[javajox]

I tried to install GitLab according to several guides, ex : https://sxi.io/how-to-install-and-confi ... s-8-rhel-8
But I get the following error :

Code: Select all

[root@testgitlab ~]# EXTERNAL_URL="http://192.168.111.111" yum install -y gitlab-ce
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:06 ago on Mon 27 Jan 2020 11:02:38 AM EET.
Error: 
 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides policycoreutils-python needed by gitlab-ce-12.7.2-ce.0.el7.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Any idea ? Is CentOS 8 still too raw ?

That package isn't designed to install on CentOS 8 which ships policycoreutils-python-utils.noarch

...instead it's designed to install on CentOS 7 as one can see from the GitLab repository URL in the blog post:

Code: Select all

baseurl=https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/el/7/$basearch

[javajox]

What to do then ? There is no point to install GitLab on CentOS 7 now, since I'll have to migrate it to CentOS 8 anyway

[TrevorH]

CentOS 7 is still a current version and is until 2024. There is no great rush to deploy 8, especially since it's mostly not ready yet.

[owl102]

According to https://about.gitlab.com/install/ CentOS 8 is not (yet) supported.

If using CentOS 7 is not an option, you could try going the "Docker" or "Installation from source" route.

For the record : they added support for CentOS 8
