Comments on How to Install Gitlab on Debian 8 (Jessie)

Gitlab is a web-based management and collaboration software for GIT servers similar to GitHub. It contains features like issue tracking, file browser, change tracking and a project wiki. In this tutorial, I will install Gitlab CE on a Debian 8 server behind a Nginx proxy. The Nginx proxy improves scalability and security of the system.

If you use apt-cacher-ng, you probably will get a 403 erro.A fix / workaround might be to create a APT configuration file with tells APT to bypass the apt-cacher-ng and load GitLab packages directly from the GitLab repository:

echo 'Acquire::HTTP::Proxy::packages.gitlab.com "DIRECT";' >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99_gitlab && apt-get update
