[HELP][SOLVED] Windows as a gitlab repo server?

  1. Are we civil here or are you gonna bash me for using windows wink probably not.

Hello sir/madam
I watched (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nr9g4YN0NU&t), a mr. Wendells videos on git, I heard mr. Wendell say that I could use gitlab to host my repository. That would be amazing as my companions do modding alot (kingnxtsmods.weebly.com). I would like to integrate this technology to my server so people that my companions work with can access the same files. Is this possible?

In short: I want to have mod codes on server so devs can access it from there.

Edit: I installed centos on a oracle virtual box and I’m able to host the gitlab from centos.

Sir, are you a bot or a real human?

I would like to have an answer to this question, I’m asking here because the community here should be much more grown up. I have not mentioned that I can’t do linux stuff unless clearly explained so, about 1% of tutorials could help me in this situation.

Admindev, is most certainly a human.

I believe he misunderstood what you wanted and deleted his post.

Not in a straight forward way no, but in a virtual machine sure.

Non-Unix operating systems such as Windows

GitLab is developed for Unix operating systems. It does not run on Windows, and we have no plans to support it in the near future. For the latest development status view this issue. Please consider using a virtual machine to run GitLab.

Is it going to be your final answer? What about the other gits? I don’t so much about that so I don’t know if they work or not as I intend to have them working.

To be honest I’m not familiar with other solutions, especially any suited for windows.

You may consider a private repository at bitbucket, those are free if free is important.

Good luck.

Do you know anything about ms Azure? Is that hostable?

That’s a cloud service hosted by microsoft, you can’t host your own instance.

Well I’m going with the virtual linux, it’ll be Parrot Os Desktop version.

Have you considered using docker for this? There is a version of docker available that runs on Windows that essentially sets up a lightweight virtualised Linux host on that can be used by docker.

then once installed you should be able to run a gitlab container from there the same you would on any Linux system.

I’m running a VMbox with parrot, but I get the issue: Unable to locate gitlab-ce. Probably should post that in another thread?

yep that would be best.
