I installed GitLab on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server using the command found in the documentation

curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce

Everything installed correctly and the application is running but I changed the hostname on the server by editing /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts but certain parts of GitLab like the repository URL incorrectly display the old hostname. How do I fix this?

I found some references around the web to using bitnami to reconfigure this but I didn't seem to have the same files.

For that kind of thing, it's best to go through the gitlab reconfiguration step mentioned in that documentation:

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

That should update things. But before you do that, you will need to check the gitlab config files in /etc/gitlab (I believe) to make sure the old hostname wasn't put in there.

  • Thanks, that worked. I had to change external_url in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and then run sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure. Commented Jan 8, 2016 at 21:32
