Do you have any links to a reliable guide on how to set this up on
Ubuntu 12.04 server? I have a cloud vps that is vastly underused just
running Gitlab at the moment, so I'd like to give it a try & if it works
OK for me I can either spin up another vps or just use an old Poweredge
650 I've got lying about gathering dust.
