Recipe to create a gitlab server

- build an Ubuntu server (12.04) LTS on a 64 bit machine
- during the build, choose Basic Linux Server and OpenSSH Server
- once complete, log in to the server 
- $ sudo apt-get update -y
- $ sudo apt-get upgrade -y
- $ sudo apt-get install wget
- check https://www.gitlab.com/downloads and get note the name of the Ubunutu download name
- sudo wget <full url of download file name>
- note, the above will display the name of the expanded filename. You'll need this for the second-to-last command
- sudo apt-get install openssh-server
- sudo apt-get install postfix
- sudo dpkg -i <file name displayed on terminal after wget <filename>>
- sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
- open a browser and navigate to the gitlab host (your Ubunutu server)
- welcome to gitlab!
