Deploy self-hosted GitLab on Antyxsoft Cloud
Run the whole DevOps toolchain on your own instance: Git repositories, CI/CD pipelines, code review, issues and a container registry — preconfigured on Rocky Linux 9, in a private environment your team owns.

Create an instance, pick Marketplace App at the template step, and choose it from the list. You pay for the instance.
What GitLab gives you
GitLab is an all-in-one DevOps platform that puts Git version control, continuous integration, project management and collaboration behind a single login. Instead of stitching together a repository host, a pipeline runner and an issue tracker, the whole delivery workflow lives in one place with one permission model.
Self-hosting it on an Antyxsoft instance keeps source code, pipeline secrets and build artefacts inside infrastructure you control — useful when a client contract or a regulator has an opinion about where your code lives.
Key features
- Version control. Git repository management with branching, merging and merge requests as the unit of change.
- CI/CD pipelines. Automated build, test and deployment stages defined in the repository alongside the code.
- Project management. Issue tracking, boards, milestones and time tracking, linked to the commits that resolve them.
- Code review. Peer review through merge requests, with approvals and discussion tied to the diff.
- Security scanning. Built-in security testing and compliance features in the pipeline rather than bolted on afterwards.
- Container registry. Push and pull Docker images from the same instance that builds them.
- Documentation. A wiki per project, so the runbook sits next to the code it describes.

- Agencies Per-client groups and permissions inside a single self-hosted platform.
Getting started
Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.
-
01
Log in to the Cloud Portal
Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.
-
02
At Select Template, open Marketplace App
In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.
-
03
Pick the template and deploy
Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.
-
04
Finish the application setup
Open the instance address in a browser, set the initial root password, then configure your domain, TLS certificate and the first project.
Before it carries real traffic
- Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
- Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
- Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
- Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.
Support
