Overview
GitLab Community Edition (CE) is a cloud-based Git repository and version control system. It is used by software development teams to consolidate source code, track and manage releases, increase code quality, deploy code changes, and track the evolution of software over time. It includes a fully functional Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) system for building, testing, and deploying code updates while your team is producing new code.
GitLab CE supports private registry for Docker containers enabling teams to streamline updates for production deployments that are running on a microservices architecture.
This open source solution is packaged by Bitnami. Learn how to install, configure, and manage it at docs.bitnami.com. For deployment issues, reach out our support team at community.bitnami.com.

Why use Bitnami Certified Apps?
Bitnami certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box.
Bitnami packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Bitnami automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
Highlights
- Efficiently manage repositories with forking, conflict resolution for merges, quick commit-reverts, and groups consisting of multiple people sharing a namespace for projects.
- Fully functional CI/CD, with versioned build script, build pipelines, container registry for Docker images, and deployment to multiple environments.
- Deep integration with existing development tools and the ability to configure an external PostgreSQL database using the Omnibus package.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes

Usage instructions
Once the instance is running, enter the public DNS provided by Amazon into your browser. You will then see the GitLab CE application. The default server administrator is 'root'. Please check our documentation at https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/get-started/find-credentials/ to learn how to get your password. You may change this username and password within the application settings. You can also access your instance via SSH using the username 'bitnami' and your Amazon private key.

It works !
I was looking for an alternative to the SaaS version of GitLab. Using this product worked like a charm for me. This AMI saved me lots of installation and debug time on Debian or Amazon Linux. Following documentation provided by Btnami was quite usefull : https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/gitlab/
Do *NOT* use this.
If you like the prospect of a one click installer because you don't want to fuss to much about setting up and configuring gitlab, then you are going to 100% regret using this instance.
Here's the facts. Bitnami changes many things from the default gitlab installation. They apply these changes to new versions, even against old versions. This BREAKS smaller features of the gitlab system.
"
bitnami@gitlab:/opt/bitnami$ sudo gitlab-ci-multi-runner stop
FATAL: Failed to stop gitlab-runner: "initctl" failed: exit status 1, initctl: Unknown job: gitlab-runner
"
Bitnamis documentation is horribly out of date, and the inconsistencies between the version that is installed and the version you are actually using will make a newbies life a nightmare.
Finally, if you don't believe me in this, let me quote gitlab themselves.
https://about.gitlab.com/installation/
"One-click install providers
One-click installers are frequently out of date and might not contain our Omnibus packages. An example of this are the Bitnami packages in the past couldn't be updated and are now much harder to update than the Omnibus packages. We advise to not use one-click installers but instead start an vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 instance and use the recommended Omnibus package installation. This is almost as quick as a one-click install and you're sure of the latest version and easy upgrades."
So, in short: Do not use this.
Everything works great, but email
Works well for the most part. Getting the password for the default admin account (user@example.com ) took a few minutes for me to read enough to realize the initial password is generated and is found in the System Log. Setting up new accounts is a pain because email does not work, which is required for users to verify their email address and enable the account. I didn't want to spend the time fixing email so I just went with a free bitbucket account instead.
Could not be used.
Gitlab it was started, but was not able to login.
Although HP has confirmed the other of Bitnami, login method eventually could not understand.
Not what I was looking for
Gitlab is deployed in a very specific, non-standard way here and you'll have to go with the bitnami documentation (which is ok) to update it. In addition, there were a few glitches in the default installation I was unable to sort out. So I switched to a FreeBSD instance, installed Gitlab manually and now it works like a charm.
