GitLab: Pull from remote repo

GitLab is an awesome product. I’m using GitLab Community Edition (FOSS) at home on a daily basis.

However, I needed a specific feature in GitLab called Pull from a remote repository which is officially a premium feature only. Too bad this feature is not free, but I have a solution.
This sync feature allows you to keep for example your forked repository in sync with a remote upstream repository.

New server: Install & configuration of services (Part III)

Welcome back, this will be the 3rd part of new server series. In the previous parts I assembled the server and prepared the machine with Ubuntu Server. I configured the basics things like; networking, RAID setup, E-Mail and more. In case you missed that: read Part I and Part II. Today, we will finish the job with installing and configuring all the services we love so much. Again, I included a Table of Contents for convenience reasons, since it quite a long article.

Upgrading GitLab server

I got a running GitLab server on my Debian Jessie server. GitLab Community Edition is an open-source git repository manager, but also supports code reviews, wiki’s, issue tracking and much more! GitLab is very similar to Github in a way, however you have full control of the server. You are running your own git server. Normally Github will do all the system administration, upgrades and such for you. They make sure your code is safe and saved no matter what.

Git hooks

Recently I found the benefits of using git hooks. I want you explain in this article more about git hooks. What are git hooks in the first place? What for hooks are there? (no I’m not talking about a fish hook). And how to use git hooks in combination in my favorite open-source git server: GitLab. Git hooks A git hook is a way to fire off your own custom scripts (perl, python or bash it doesn’t really matter).

Debian 8 Jessie Server handleiding

Intro header

Niet lang geleden heb ik mijn server opnieuw opgezet. Ik maak gebruik van Debian 8 (Jessie) als Linux distributie, en heb veel verschillende services geïnstalleerd en geconfigureerd (waaronder een mail server, webmail, cloud storage en git). Gelukkig hield ik alles netjes bij in een logboek. Ik zou graag mijn stappen willen delen, zodat iedereen een eigen server kan opzetten.

Ik ga ervan uit dat je beschikt over enige basis kennis van GNU/Linux (Debian). Ook al beschik je niet tot nauwelijks over deze kennis, zou het toch mogelijk moeten zijn om deze handleiding stap voor stap te volgen.
