The GDK installation has changed a bit (just set it up today, you need to run gdk install and gdk start (instead of run) for example). Please also note that it involves installing dependencies on your local machine, like e.g. Ruby / Postgres, etc. Here is the link to the GDK: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit

Otherwise I would try the docker container OR just install it with omnibus in a VM: https://about.gitlab.com/install/



Oh, thanks. I got that from some old notes since my bookmark didn't work for some reason ;)

For me, running Gitlab locally is extremely heavy (webpack especially). How beefy is your computer, as a Gitlab developer?


I have got a 16 GB MacBook from 2018.

Funny that you mention Webpack, I am part of the webpack working group and we are trying to improve developer experience:

We were able to reduce memory consumption quite a bit, but we are working on different other improvements.


Great! I see you were actually involved in one of the problems that bit me (8 GB...). https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/issues/...

Small world :)
