Why not get into editing the installation page and suggesting an iteration in a merge request? Maybe we could combine CentOS 8, 7, 6 into one. It is not perfect yet, and you'll likely have an idea in your head right now. And if your brain tends to look into the middle of a web page, you might have picked Debian 10 instead of Debian 8.

Or you have gone with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS by yourself.

Now, you'll join your friend with a freshly spun up CentOS 8 VM and GitLab greets you for the next couple of years. Let's imagine that the GitLab team has thought about this already, and have a look at the website again:
#HOW TO INSTALL GITLAB IN UBUNTU 16.04 SOFTWARE#
While our brain typically sees numbers in an ascending order and feels good about it, software versions require us to think in the reversed order: The newest versions provide us with the newest features and are a good thing for starters. Make sure to subscribe to the GitLab (security) newsletter to stay up-to-date too! Also, maintenance and upgrades should always be considered, this is not delayed or replaced by using a modern Linux distribution. Note: The above situation could happen in unmaintained environments. Why didn't the GitLab team recommend to use this distribution instead? Why did CentOS 6 go EOL so fast? Ok, actually, there is CentOS 8 already which would have lasted a bit longer, actually some years. There was this one API security bug where the attacker could exploit your entire system and data. There you'll learn that CentOS 6 was end-of-life since 2 years, no more security updates for the operating system, and likewise, GitLab did not provide updated packages either. At some point, someone hacks your server and steals your data.Īfter solving the business critical tasks, you'll do a post mortem on the incident. Some time passes by, your server is running smooth with GitLab, you'll do the GitLab updates, and continue creating awesome software projects with CI/CD pipelines. Awesome, let's spin up a CentOS 6 VM and install GitLab! The first entry you'll recognise is CentOS 6 in the first row. Let's assume that a friend of yours said: "I can help you with CentOS.".
