⁠Docker-compose

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container. version: "2.3"

services:
gitlab:
    container_name: gitlab
    image: gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
    environment:
    GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
    external_url 'https://DOMAIN';
    nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = false;
    nginx['listen_https'] = false;
    nginx['listen_port'] = 80;
    gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port'] = 22022;
    gitlab_rails['initial_root_password'] = '[APP_PASSWORD]';
    gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true;
    gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = '172.17.0.1';
    gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 25;
    gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = '[DOMAIN]';
    gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false;
    gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'none';
    gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = false;
    gitlab_rails['smtp_ssl'] = false;
    gitlab_rails['smtp_force_ssl'] = false;
    gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = '[DOMAIN]@vm.elestio.app';
    gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_reply_to'] = '[DOMAIN]@vm.elestio.app';
    gitlab_rails['gitlab_signup_enabled'] = false
    volumes:
    - ./config:/etc/gitlab
    - ./logs:/var/log/gitlab
    - ./data:/var/opt/gitlab
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "172.17.0.1:8080:80"
    - "22022:22"

⁠Maintenance

⁠Logging

The Elestio Gitlab Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

⁠Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
