gitlab install fails on missing gem file

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The gem 'devise-two-factor' is installed but it is not identified by gitlab setup.

Workaround:

1. cd /usr/share/gitlab/

2. bundler

you may need install some package first: sudo apt-get install cmake libmysqlclient-dev automake autoconf autogen

3. sudo apt-get install gitlab

this will reconfigure gitlab package

You must install pkg-config package too.

But now another error on [3] step.

$ sudo apt-get install gitlab

Note: /usr/share/gitlab owner is root:root so if you execute bundler as user you get a permission error

There was an error while trying to write to '/usr/share/gitlab/Gemfile.lock'

So I execute bundler with sudo

Hi guys,

Is any solution for this ?

Hi Folks,

do we have some new info here?

I have the same problem.

Best
Giso

gitlab will be released new version with with 2.3 ruby support in few days now on. however, you should Onmibus version from gitlab CE until functional gitlab is distributed to Xenial.

I had the same problem and eventually got it installed by following the tips in these comments. I also unmasked gitlab.target and other gitlab services, as suggested in a Debian bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820991

Using a fresh install of Ubuntu Xenial 64bits (as LXD container).

After the installation failed, I followed the recommended steps here, but `bundler` failed with: "An error occurred while installing eventmachine (1.2.1), and Bundler cannot continue."

I installed the following packages and `bundler` finished without errors (probably the *-dev packages are not required):

apt install ruby-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev build-essential patch pkg-config

After that, gitlab was able to continue the installation, but it fails again with this error:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
rake aborted!

This is a pretty serious bug: it's in an LTS release, breaks a completely clean install, and the workarounds involve going around the package manager and negating the distribution. According to the effective 'upstream' -- Debian's Pirate Praveen -- it's been fixed since his -dfsg10 version. So potentially all it would need is a sync of this Debian minor version to resolve this.

I agree strongly with David Banks.

What a cluster. I agree with the previous two comments this is a serious bug that exists even when you follow https://about.gitlab.com/installation/#ubuntu to the letter. How is this bug still open 2.5 years later?

Quick note - I realized later that the omnibus installer means for you to install the "gitlab-ee" package even if you don't plan to purchase the enterprise license and will be using the community edition. I didn't realize the different package name and was assuming the "gitlab" package came from their official repo and was the current community edition version vs. an old version 8 package that is still distributed with Ubuntu. I'd recommend the maintainers just pull their package from Ubuntu so that everyone goes the omnibus route which is clearly what they want everyone to use.
