Documentation suggestion at end of Step 3
Created by: nickalpin
Hello, I'm a sysadmin and recently set up Gitlab for our developers. I'm not a Git/Gitlab expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it may be helpful to some users if the documentation at the end of Step 3 were updated with a suggestion to use the actual host name instead of localhost.
The line: sudo -u gitlab -H git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git /tmp/gitolite-admin
Before re-running this step using the correct host name, our developers were receiving the following error when attempting to add their SSH public keys:
Gitolite Error Application cant get access to your gitolite system. Check 'config/gitlab.yml' for correct settings.
Make sure web server user has access to gitolite. Setup tutorial
Try: sudo chmod -R 770 /home/git/repositories/ sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/
