irst of all I’m new here, I just started a Droplet with a GitLab Image and everything works as expected. I can use GitLab with no problems.
I accessed the Droplet via SSH to add a user, maybe add a static page with nginx but I found nothing. There’s no git, no ruby, no nginx installed.
I tried
$ git --version $ which --version $ which ruby
etc. but there’s nothing. None of the GitLab requirements.
How can that be? Where’s the stuff? What am I missing?
Thanks a lot.

The GitLab one-click app uses GitLab’s “omnibus” installation. The files for GitLab are found under /opt/gitlab/
, this includes bundled version of Ruby and git that are not part of the system-wide install. It’s designed to be tightly integrated with GitLab managing the services using the gitlab-ctl
scripts.
