Hi All. I have been struggling to get gitlab to run on Ubuntu 14 with all kinds of errors, ruby, and some configuration and so on. Via using DO Gitlab CE Droplet I finally have my working git environment up and ruining.
To the question: Do you guys know how and if it is possible to move the pre-installed version over to a standard nginx installation? The problem I have is that when re-configuring the nginx.rb it does not allow me to run my python flask app.

For Ubuntu 14.04 you can just boot a VM with that OS and use our installer https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/
The DigitalOcean one-click GitLab app use the “Omnibus” installer. You can make some Nginx configuration changes in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb that will persist. Though, if you want to run GitLab along with other services on the same droplet, your best bet is probably to install GitLab from source rather than using the Omnibus installer. The way the Omnibus version works, everything is very tightly tied together. It’s really designed for standalone installations.
