Testing Setup

I have DNS entries configured that point to a single virtual machine on my local network:

• gitlab.gitlab.MYDOMAIN.net
• mattermost.gitlab.MYDOMAIN.net

The machine spins up with a specified GitLab package installed and uses a minimal gitlab.rb:

external_url 'http://gitlab.MYDOMAIN.net'
mattermost_external_url 'http://mattermost.MYDOMAIN.net'
