Building omnibus-gitlab packages and Docker images locally
If you are a GitLab team member, you have access to our CI infrastructure which
can be used to build these artifacts. Check the documentation
for more details.
omnibus-gitlab packages
omnibus-gitlab uses Omnibus for
building packages for the supported operating systems. Omnibus detects
the OS where it is being used and build packages for that OS. You should use a
Docker container corresponding to the OS as the environment for building packages.
How to build a custom package locally is described in the dedicated document.
All-in-one Docker image
If you want individual Docker images for each GitLab component instead of the
all-in-one monolithic one, check out the
CNG repository.
The GitLab all-in-one Docker image uses the omnibus-gitlab package built for
Ubuntu 22.04 under the hood. The Dockerfile is optimized to be used in a CI
environment, with the expectation of packages being available over the Internet.
We’re looking at improving this situation in issue #5550.
