GitLab Docker Image for AMD x86_64

English | 简体中文

What is this?

In recent years, ARM servers have become more and more widely used. Due to their flexibility, small size, efficiency, and low price, ARM processors are a great choice for infrastructure.

Several top cloud vendors in the world have invested in ARM servers and launched ARM products, including Amazon AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Huawei Cloud, etc.

However, the official GitLab docker image does not provide amd64 version, which makes it difficult for ARM users to use GitLab. Actually, GitLab has provided amd64 version for a long time, it's just that the official docker image is not built for amd64.

This project is to build GitLab docker image for amd64 use GitLab's official dockerfile.

Upstream dockerfile: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/tree/master/docker

This project is based on the official dockerfile, and only adds a few lines of code to make it work on amd64.

How to use it?

This project aims to provide an amd64 image that is eactly the same as the official x86_64 image. So you can use it in the same way as the official image.

Refer to the official docker installation documentation:

• https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/docker/
