If you want to use both on the same Droplet, the simplest way would be to use Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of both apps. I’d start with GitLab as it uses an “omnibus” installer which bundles a number of components including Nginx. Many of these bundled components can be configured in
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rbSee this doc for more information on how to configure Nginx settings through it.You can add a custom
includedirective to the Nginx configuration. This will allow you to set up a separate Nginx config file for your Redmine instance. In/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rbadd:You can now create a server block for your main site in the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/directory. Then rungitlab-ctl reconfigureto pick up the changes.You can also disable the bundled Nginx all together and install the distro version if you want by adding:
Now you should be able to install and configure Redmine as you normally would. See their docs on using it with Nginx for more info.
